my @original = 1,3,7;
my @clone = @original.clone;

@original[*-1] = 'Dog';
say "original is finally <@original[]> ({@original.^name})";
say "clone is finally <@clone[]> ({@clone.^name})";

输出显示它们不会相互影响：

original is finally <1 3 Dog> (Array)
 clone is finally <1 3 7> (Array)

但是,如果我将数组放入标量变量中,则克隆不会将两者分开.改变一个会改变另一个：

my $original = [ 1,7 ];
say "original is <$original[]> ({$original.^name}) with {$original.elems} values";

my $clone = $original.clone;
say "clone is <$clone[]> ({$clone.^name}) with {$clone.elems} values";

if $original eqv $clone {
    say "The original and clone have the same values!";
    }

if $original === $clone {
    say "The original and clone are the same object!";
    }

if $original =:= $clone {
    say "The original and clone are the same container!";
    }

$original[*-1] = 'Dog';
say "original is finally <$original[]> ({$original.^name}) with {$original.elems} values";
say "clone is finally <$clone[]> ({$clone.^name}) with {$clone.elems} values";

输出显示原始和克隆仍然链接,但奇怪的是它们不是同一个对象或容器：

original is <1 3 7> (Array) with 3 values
 clone is <1 3 7> (Array) with 3 values
 The original and clone have the same values!
 original is finally <1 3 Dog> (Array) with 3 values
 clone is finally <1 3 Dog> (Array) with 3 values

这个工作,克隆被分配给一个数组变量：

my $original = [ 1,7 ];
my @clone = $original.clone;

$original[*-1] = 'Dog';
say "original is finally <$original[]> ({$original.^name})";
say "clone is finally <@clone[]> ({@clone.^name})";

但是当原始数组是一个数组并且克隆被分配给标量变量时,它不起作用：

my @original = 1,7;
my $clone = @original.clone;

@original[*-1] = 'Dog';
say "original is finally <@original[]> ({@original.^name})";
say "clone is finally <$clone[]> ({$clone.^name})";
