Substitution is conceptually a destructive operation, particularly on structures, and that is how you use it, so I would rewrite your unwrap_cdata as explicitly so:
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
my $var = '<Country><![CDATA[US]]></Country>';
unwrap_cdata($var);
print $var."\n";
my $hash = { america => '<Country><![CDATA[US]]></Country>',
europe => ['<Country><![CDATA[IT]]></Country>','<Co
+untry><![CDATA[UK]]></Country>'],
};
print Dumper $hash;
unwrap_cdata($hash);
print Dumper $hash;
If you ever really want to make copies, pass the copies to unwrap_cdata instead, and make sure you make deep copies (like with Storable::dclone).
And now for my trick:
sub unwrap_cdata {
for (@_) {
eval { unwrap_cdata(@$_); 1 } and next;
eval { unwrap_cdata(values %$_); 1 } and next;
s/<!\[CDATA\[//;
s/<!\[CDATA\[//;
s/]]>//;
s/]]>//;
}
}
Recursion is fun. Block eval is great fun. :-)

The Sidhekin proves Sidhe did it!
