From a quick glance at the first error, it involves using
is_deeply to compare arrays of arrays, not hashes. So
it's not clear "how Perl organizes the hash" gets involved.
You also have a failure on perl 5.8.1 that looks very similar,
so 5.6.2 is less of a suspect.
You need to explain certain aspects of the problem more
completely to allow someone to help you, particularly:
"what's generated at run time: it comes out different"
"dealt with this problem" (what problem?)
"getting it just right" (what's it?)
"using an unsupported feature" (which feature is that?)

I'm dealing with an error report from cpantesters for Getopt::Auto.
The problem arrises out of using Test::More::is_deeply to compare a

I've delt with this problem in my own testing, and have spent some
time
getting it 'just right'. I suspect the problem arrises out of how Perl
organizes the hash. The version with the problem is perl-5.6.2. Later
versions pass. Given that I'm using an unsupported feature, things may
well come unglued in the future.
So, are there any suggestions? Test::Deep? 'use Perl 5.8.0'?
Thanks.
