Supposing I just wanted to test deeply nested structures ...

> Looks like you could easily use Test::More::_deep_check

that's an internal function, Test::More provides explain() for serialization within the regular API

see also eq_array() and eq_hash() but "they may be deprecated in future versions."

> If you can ensure consistent/ordered serialization in the case of your structures being hash refs

Please note that the order of hash-keys within the same Perl run is guarantied to be stable.

Furthermore is explain() ordering hash-keys alphabetically AFAICT.

( Data::Dump too IIRC )
