My patch doesn't remove circular ref protection. Circular ref protection comes from keeping a track of all the refs we've seen so far and I've not touched that.

DD also keeps track of all scalars that it sees so that when you run this

use Data::Dumper; my %s=('key',1); my $s=\$s{'key'}; print Dumper([\%s, $s])
you get
$VAR1 = [ { 'key' => 1 }, \$VAR1->[0]{'key'} ];
that is, it was able to spot that the 1 in %s{key} is actually the same 1 that's in $s.

My patch removes this ability when $Deepcopy = 0. This is consistent with the rest of the deepcopy behaviour and means that now that the only thing that can cause a backreference to some other part of the structure is circularity.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
