Looks like you could easily use Test::More::_deep_check to create is_not_deeply and submit a PR. Of course, either you're the first person ever to need this or there's something fundamentally wrong with whatever it is that you're doing. Is there a reason you must do "is_not_deeply" when a test to make sure "is_deeply" would suffice? I'm still not quite sure what it is you're testing.
>I could just serialize a nested structure
If you can ensure consistent/ordered serialization in the case of your structures being hash refs (or use Tie::IxHash somehow, I suppose. But this doesn't seem to be the right approach if you're reaching for deeply comparing two structures. Consider that you'd probably need to write unit tests to test that your serialization is coming out as expected.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
