Deep Cloning
I've been using Storable's dclone for years, but there's a module on CPAN called Clone that is said to be much faster. However, it doesn't seem to work.
use strict;
use warnings;
use Clone qw(clone);
use Data::Printer;
use 5.010;
my $a = { blue => '#0000ff', one => 1 };
say "A";
p $a;
my $b = clone($a);
say "B";
p $b;
$b->{car} = 'Ford';
say "B";
p $b;
say "A";
p $a;
Given the above code, I'd expect $a to retain it's structure, but $b to have the added new element of car = Ford. That's what happens when I use dclone, but for some reason it doesn't happen using clone. Am I doing something wrong?
