in reply to Nested Bless within Hash of Arrays

I'm able to drill down the structure just like it's a typical HOA, but why bless?

bless associates the name of a package with a reference. It's ultimately how you create new object instances in Perl 5 right now.

You're seeing a textual serialization of your objects and how to thaw them.

    As in BLOCK = $t->{elems}->[0]? But then what is $t->{elems}->[0]->{elems}->[1]->{elems}->[0] since it's also blessed as BLOCK?

      It's another instance of BLOCK, as in my $something = BLOCK->new( { ... } );, but without the intermediary $something.
