| Subject: | Fatal error on dumping a stash with a constant |
This bug is most likely related to
<http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=15660>.
In the attached test script, Dump dies in a relatively benign way in
1.14 when trying to Dump a stash with a constant. Output via STDERR:
Can't locate object method "ARRAY" via package "B::SPECIAL" at
C:/Perl/site/lib/Data/Dump/Streamer.pm line 3157.
Data::Dump::Streamer version: 1.14
Perl version: 5.008008
After upgrading to 2.03_30, the error gets more serious as there is no
output at all, even the END block is no longer executed. I guess this
means there's a coredump.
Tested on, ActivePerl 5.8.8 build 817 on Windows XPSP2, using MinGW
(gcc) 3.2.3 to compile the module. Needless to say, all tests are
succesful for both.
