I think that although a test that ignores blessed classes could be

in some circumstances (ie programming in general), I reckon in the
context of test suites it's a bug.
I am already not yet convinced.  In particular, it makes this sort of 
test
more difficult than it needs be:

    is_deeply($obj, { foo => 42, bar => 23 });
Absolutely, but there is currently no way to do this

is_deeply($obj, bless({ foo => 42, bar => 23 }, "MyClass"));

and get a fail if $obj is not in MyClass - as I found out today ;-(

2 solutions spring to mind
[snip]

Option three.

  isa_ok($obj, 'MyClass');
  is_deeply($obj, { foo => 42, bar => 23 });
