Re: Do you consider these different or the same?

print "@$ar1\n@$ar2\n";
[download]

produces:

HASH(0x224fc8) HASH(0x224fc8)
HASH(0x22507c) HASH(0x225088)

so deep copies they are not.

Although "deep copy" shows up in the original post, I think it's misplaced. The is_deeply docs don't say anything about testing whether or not they are deep copies. The other things in Test::More check for the same values, not the same references, and that's what I expect is_deeply to do, and for the "deeply" only to denote its descent into references to get their values. -- brian d foy <brian@stonehenge.com>	[reply]
