in reply to Config::General identical blocks sequence

But can I be sure that it will always be the case? Even in the next release of Config::General?

Sure, why not

    I'm not so sure, the order is not mentioned in the section anonmonk cited. The example it gives is introduced with "you would end up with a data structure like this", not "you would end up with this data structure" or "exactly like this". While it isn't likely that the writer of the documentation thought about this question when he wrote that sentence, it is also unlikely that he thought about specifying the order at all
