Yves, With all due respect, if we're going to come up with contrived examples to show one empty array ref is not the same as another empty array ref, I could counter by coming up with an example where the behavior of *my* code is not dependant on this. The point is, it's not the case that your suggestion is wrong or that the current implementation is wrong. What you have correctly pointed out is that there is a limitation in the current implementation of is_deeply and there's a reasonable argument a different implementation. In short, I think most agree that we're talking about two separate things and that neither is wrong, so if someone wants to pitch a solution rather than continue a long email chain, I'm sure we'd be grateful :) Cheers, Ovid -- If this message is a response to a question on a mailing list, please send follow up questions to the list.
