in reply to share() bug? ( [perl #30702] )

I agree. Well it could be a bug, but I don't think this case is even documented. It should at least be listed as a caveat. I'm going to poke into the source.

Update: I should note that it also does that to the referenced array if you share a reference.

    Let me know what you find out please. I'll hold off raising a perlbug until I get a conlusion about whether it's a code problem or a docs problem.

    I've stared at shared.xs/.c, and seen nothing that looked like would cause this. That said, the internals are still mostly a mystery too me and magic positively scares me :)

      This is strong magic, much stronger than mine. Go ahead and perlbug it, I took a look, but didn't see anything jumping out at me either.
