Subject: Test::Mode::is_deeply does not support globjects
is_deeply (more precisely, _deep_check) does not allow for the possibility of complex structures that are based on a glob and are (e.g.) both an ARRAY *and* a HASH. This is because the logic of _deep_check is basically a switch without fallthrough; if an object is-an ARRAY, the rest of the comparisons will not be made. The fix is to allow fallthrough, but detect and propagate errors immediately. I'll gladly submit a patch if the maintainers indicate they are willing to apply it (globjects are something of an obscure feature).

They sure are. I'm not even sure how to handle their comparision. If you've got an idea of how to handle it, go for it.

This is very obscure. I am closing this ancient ticket. If anyone still wants this feature please re-open on github.
