Hello all,
I've recently discovered that if I make an array readonly with Readonly::Array and then make a deep copy of it with Storable::dclone, the readonlyness is maintained in the deep copy.
I would like the copy not to be readonly, however. And I'm not too keen on unlocking the array in the off chance that it wasn't cloned first. Is there a better way to copy the array perhaps? From what I've seen, using Data::Dumper and eval is about half as fast as dclone and seems hackish.
Thanks in advance!

You might be able to "unlock" the array in a STORABLE_thaw hook, see the section entitled "WIZARDS ONLY" in the Storable documentation.

I'll second gellyfish. dclone is your best way to copy the data and if you want a less perfect copy just make those edits to the result.
