Re: Re: Re: Making a new list of hashes from a hashref

Uh... because I'd never heard of Clone before. The documentation says it is "less flexible" than Storable's clone but doesn't say anything about what its missing. That's something to keep in mind anyway.

Oh yeah, and it was one of those copy-paste moments. Two people happened to ask the same question somewhat simultaneously.

The only justification I've found for the "less flexible" caveat is that as it does a in-memory, binary copy, it isn't suitable for serialisation/persistance, but I've rarely seen the module mentioned, so I keep wondering if I am missing something and when I am going to get bitten.
