This is a bug report for perl from wulfdirk.leuschner@sanofi-aventis.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.35 running under perl v5.8.8.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

In the module 'base.pm' line 85 says:

  die if $@ && $@ !~ /^Can't locate .*? at \(eval /;

It'd be nice to include the error $@ in the die statement:

  die $@ if $@ && ...

Might make life much easier (sometimes)...

Regards,
Wulf Dirk

P.S. Same thing for perl5.8.6
