96 | The opposite of "ptr2ref", above: returns the internal address of |
|
|
97 | the value pointed to by the passed reference. *No checks whatsoever |

100 | ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES |
|
|
101 | You can set the environment variable "PERL_DEVEL_FINDREF_DEPTH" to an |
|
|
102 | integer to override the default depth in "track". If a call explicitly |
|
|
103 | specified a depth it is not overridden. |
