Trimming down, even before I have a small case that shows the error I have something else wrong. Here're two files that give me different results on 5.8.8 versus 5.10. I think I've already done something wrong at this level of simplicity that I should figure out before building the example up farther.
use strict;
use warnings;
use configthing qw();
our configthing $cfg = new configthing;
use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper $cfg;
Then for "configthing.pm"...
package configthing;
use strict;
use warnings;
use fields qw(
a
b
c
d
);
our %DEFAULTS = (
b => 'default for b',
c => 'default for c'
);
1;
sub new {
my $this = shift;
unless (ref $this) {
$this = fields::new($this);
}
our %FIELDS;
foreach my $k ( keys(%FIELDS) ) {
$this->{$k} = '' unless defined($this->{$k});
}
$this->{a} = 'set at initialization';
foreach my $k ( keys(%DEFAULTS) ) {
$this->{$k} = $DEFAULTS{$k};
}
return $this;
}
With 5.8.8 I get
$VAR1 = bless( [
bless( {
'c' => 3,
'a' => 1,
'b' => 2,
'd' => 4
}, 'pseudohash' ),
'set at initialization',
'default for b',
'default for c',
''
], 'configthing' );
And 5.10.1 gives me:
$VAR1 = bless( {
'c' => 'default for c',
'a' => 'set at initialization',
'b' => 'default for b',
'd' => ''
}, 'configthing' );

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).
