| Subject: | Latest Config::General doing funky reordering of arrayrefs |
Basically something changed in 2.45 causing funky sorting of array refs.
For example:

----------------
As you can see, in version 2.44 the arrayref ['one', 'two', 'three']
gets roundtripped properly, but in version 2.45 looks like it is sorting
the array, maybe alphabetically?
I've marked this as critical since a lot of stuff depends on
Config::General and a lot of those modules are not passing tests. Plus
I have to imagine any reordering of arrays is going to cause trouble.
Willing to help if you can point me to a repo I can commit to.
