Subject: Symbol::Table does not handle qr{} constructs properly.
Consider the example: our $number = qr{\A[0-9]+\Z}; -- you can pull this out of the SCALAR symbol table with Symbol::Table, but you can't put it back in, because the reference that exists in the table is not a SCALAR reference, but a REF reference instead. Symbol::Table should allow for REF references in SCALAR symbol tables... I'm not sure if there's other special cases that might need to be handled as well? Thanks, Tyler
