I think you pretty much answered your own question: B::Deparse seems to do just what you want:

#! perl
use Modern::Perl;

my ($foo, $bar, $baz, $mul, $op1, $op2);

my $cr1 = sub
{
    $foo = $bar * $baz;
};

my $cr2 = sub
{
    $foo = $bar *    $baz;   # Note whitespace differences
};

my $cr3 = sub
{
    $mul = $op1 * $op2;
};

my $cr4 = sub
{
    $foo = $baz * $bar;
};

compare_subs($cr1, $cr2);
compare_subs($cr3, $cr4);

sub compare_subs
{
    my ($s1, $s2) = @_;

    use B::Deparse;

    my $deparse = B::Deparse->new("-p", "-sC");
    my $body1   = $deparse->coderef2text($s1);
    my $body2   = $deparse->coderef2text($s2);

    if ($body1 eq $body2)
    {
        say 'Identical';
    }
    else
    {
        say 'Different';
    }
}

Output:

Identical
Different

So, the initial results look promising, at least!

Hope that helps,
