Subject: error while running Module::Info
Keep getting the error below whilst running the attached script CHECK failed--call queue aborted. B::Module::Info,modules_used use failed with 255 saying: Can't locate object method "ARRAY" via package "B::SPECIAL" (perhaps you forgot to load "B::SPECIAL"?) at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/B/Module/Info.pm line 49. Huh? Can't find B::SPECIAL anywhere ...

B::SPECIAL is a subclass of B representing special op codes. In this case, one of your BEGIN blocks or use statements is "special" and B::Module::Info isn't taking that into account. I need to know what module triggers this so I can have a look and fix it. -- Michael G.

It was just that fairly simple script I attached to the bug report that used Module::Info.

I needed to know what module you fed into it that caused the error, but I think I found one. Carp. -- Michael G. Schwern <schwern@pobox.com> http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/ Perl Quality Assurance <perl-qa@perl.org> Kwalitee Is Job One We have returned to claim the pyramids.
