Thank you for finding this and letting me know.
I wonder whether it was possible to improve $10 processing whereas for the old behaviour to remain for $00 ?
I accidentally catched this error, and haven't noticed until today. I wonder how much users in the wild will catch the same error after upgrade?
Notice that CPAN modules will unlikely use $00, however random users could use it in their scripts.
