I, ahem, did some more digging and found that the great Perl gods have
already thunk this one through and provided the ref() operator. It
returns the reference type just as I need.
Thanks for letting me think this out on the list.
You should also look at the Scalar::Util module.

Perlers,
I've delving into XML for the first time, bear with me...
I've constructed a document type that is modeled after the objects found
in the ADSI namespace for an IIS server and there are cases where some
objects have multiple instances (new to objects too, so I hope I didn't
butcher that t

How do you determine what type of data a reference points to? I have a function (one in
previous post) that can take either an array of scalars or an array of hash references. I
want to execute different code based on which one it was. How can I do that?
