This was a bug waiting to happen. Commit 7d69d4a61b happened to change the order in which keys came out of %::. So Parse::Trace, which goes iterating through the stash looking for a variable containing $self (for verbose output), happened to stumble across $^V, which has explosive overloaded methods. (I think version objects are very un-perlish in that regard, but I doubt I could convince the author of version.pm.) So it looks as though ParseLex needs to work around this, otherwise it’s just by chance that it passes its tests. I’m going to mark this as rejected, as not being a perl bug, and re-open the CPAN ticket. -- Father Chrysostomos --- via perlbug: queue: perl5 status: open https://rt.perl.org:443/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=106796Thread Previous | Thread Next
