It'd be easy enough to fail over to overload::StrVal. I added just
such a snippet to Data::Postponed this morning so I could use a fact
function when possible but still work if it wasn't available.
I checked Scalar::Util and it's Changes documents 1.09 as the first
version with the refaddr function.
BEGIN {
eval "use Scalar::Util 1.09 qw( refaddr );";
if ( not defined &refaddr ) {
*refaddr = \ &overload::StrVal;
}
}
