Out of curiousity, why/when *in Perl* would you take a reference to something that holds a reference?
Good question, let me know if you find a gooder answer. But clearly the fact that it can detect that a given scalar is a reference to a reference suggests that the keepers of ref() were aware that there may well be time when that too would be a good enough fix for something.
And, "how deep does the well go?"[..]
my expectation is that it can probably go as deep as you have room for memory...
so you have some place to start, Xmas, et al <http://www.wetware.com/drieux/pbl/perlTrick/refs/ref_gag.plx>
but can I suggest that you think seriously about therapy.....
