Update: spoke too soon, sorry -- I'd left out the use threads.

With use threads in I get the same as you. I notice the caveat in cpan:/threads::shared re refaddr() -- I guess that applies to stringification too. So, it seems to be a documented problem. is_shared() is recommended in place of refaddr, but I don't know how that helps you with XML::Dumper -- sorry.

FWIW: I just tried your code and got 11 different addresses -- I have perl 5.10.0 with threads::shared version 1.14 (32 bit Win32) and 1.27 (64 bit Linux).

In the past I have found shared() to be less than useful. You could try:

  for (0..10) {
    my %sh : shared ;
    $h{$_}=\%sh ;
  }

and see if it works any better for you.
