So it sounds like dump+eval does not create a true copy of the data structure. None that I am aware of will retain knowledge that one scalar in the structure is a reference to another scalar in that same structure. Ie. If you have this structure (which is different to what you showed, but may be what you intended):
Then neither Storable:
Nor Clone successfully capture that scalar reference relationship:
You could say that was a bug -- and I'd probably agree with you -- but it is a long standing one that it would appear that no one has till now seen as a problem. Which is another way of saying it is unlikely to be fixed -- or even accepted as a bug -- any time soon. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
