Subject: Safe 2.15 causes "Undefined subroutine &Regexp::DESTROY" problem with Perl 5.8.0?
After installing Safe 2.15 via CPAN, I started to get lots of error messages in a variety of Perl scripts, most of which don't even use Safe. These error messages looked like the following: (in cleanup) Undefined subroutine &Regexp::DESTROY called at /usr/contrib/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/YAML/Loader.pm line 668, <$IN> line 1. I downgraded back to Safe 2.11, and the errors went away. (Whew!)
This should be solved by the following patch: http://public.activestate.com/cgi-bin/perlbrowse/p/33503 I'll release 2.16 with it soon.
