I think there's a function on recent versions of Scalar::Util, that returns the proper, unoverloaded reference, for use in Inside Out Objects for example. I guess it must be `refaddr` that is used for this.	[reply]

Indeed, overload says: overload::StrVal(arg) Gives string value of arg as in absence of stringify overloading. If you are using this to get the address of a reference (useful for checking if two references point to the same thing) then you may be better off using Scalar::Util::refaddr(), which is faster. - tye	[reply]

If you know $x and $y are both objects, then I much prefer $x == $y over $x eq $y, your FUD not withstanding. Sorry for giving the impression of spreading FUD, which has a definitely bad acceptation. Actually it was a fear, an uncertainty and a doubt of mine, as I hope it was clear enough. Now, AIUI from your explanation, both `==` and eq are equally fine from the technical POV, aren't they? I must admit I had never thought what the numification of a (blessed) reference could be: `cognac:~ [19:21:09]$ perl -le 'print for map {$_, 0+$_} bless \(my $x) +,"A"' A=SCALAR(0x814fe28) 135593512 cognac:~ [19:21:15]$ perl -le 'print 0x814fe28' 135593512` [download] Thank you for stimulating me to meditate and "experiment" about this!

...either or both of `==` / `eq` inappropriate. In that case, you can use something from overload but I'm not familiar with it. That would be `overload::StrVal()`, to be used with `eq`. Alternatively, `Scalar::Util::refaddr()` and `==`. Update: All this has been said, as I noticed after posting. Anno	[reply] [d/l] [select]
