Previously (5.32), there was consistency as expected: PV address was "real" RAM address; and simple fact of "packing to pointer" didn't change scalar' guts. Now, I see some weird huge ("virtual"?) addresses -- even though everything works (including, not shown above, accessing (or acquiring, same values) these pointers from C). Where such numbers come from, is this the new normal? Is difference in "Dump" output related to that, or totally another issue?

In reply to Latest Strawberries: addresses reported by "p", Devel::Peek, etc. by Anonymous Monk
