They form a circular self-reference and so continue to exist forever, but become inaccessible.
There are debates about whether the next version of Perl should able to eliminate them properly with a garbage collector, but that is still the subject of discussion. | [reply] |

- they get dumped and hope someone remembers the reverse.
- they accidentally get stringified and can't be restored.
- they're obfuscated and B::Deparse can't handle it.
- someone enables strict and they have to adapt or leave.
- they're locals and you move away.
- they're deprecated for the next release.
