Mon 11 Dec 2023 05:06:30 PM UTC, comment #2: Your patch was actually committed over a year ago, <https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/autoconf.git/commit/?id=c2ab755698db245898a4cc89149eb5df256e4bd0>. It's good that this bug was left open, though, because it did need adjustment to work with very old perl, and I'm not sure I would have thought to test with very old perl if I hadn't been looking at this bug. The adjustment has now also been landed: <https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/autoconf.git/commit/?id=185d1db28b48f78eb480a8d19db100ecda7a4fc1>.	Zack Weinberg <zackw>
Fri 08 Dec 2023 06:48:16 PM UTC, comment #1: We will need to tweak the patch so that it falls back to the old behavior when we have an old Data::Dumper module that doesn't have the Sortkeys method, but that should not be difficult.	Zack Weinberg <zackw>
Sun 07 Nov 2021 04:02:37 PM UTC, original submission: Noticed unstable key order when debugging unrelated bug. Data::Dumper's SortKeys() makes ordering stable and decreases diffs from run to run. No functional change otherwise. The patch is attached. The patch initially posted at https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf-patches/2021-08/msg00000.html	Sergei Trofimovich <slyfox>
