As the last person to change the key hash algorithm, I'd like to chime in
here with a request that each PMC provide a string that the key hashing
algorithm can operate on. To some degree this is just selfish on my part --
I've got plans for upgrading the key hash algorithm in Perl 5 and Perl 6
But then sometimes you'd *want* hashing to be based on the
content.
OK, I'll bite -- when would you want this behavior? This behavior means
that once you change the contents, the hash value would become irretrievable
unless you restored the contents of the key. (Is this useful in functional

If I have:
$a = [ 1, 2, 3 ];
$b = [ 1, 2, 3 ];
%foo{$a} = 'A';
%foo{$b} = 'B';
Then I want C (%foo{$a} == 'A') %foo{$b} == 'B' to be true.
Maybe this a case of And Now For Something Completely Similar. This
looks like something we already have

Um... not necessarily. Bordering on the 'not at all'. Perl 6 will

Yes. Hashes will take either strings or object IDs, depending on the
