Bug #38584 for Statistics-Regression: perl error

I am not sure if this is a bug, but I get the following error message when trying to run a regression analysis: slope_daily.pl::Statistics::Regression:new: bad xnames for regression. Must be pointer. This is what I am trying to run: my $reg_future_1 = Statistics::Regression->new( 2, "sample regression", ["const", "x", "y" ] ); I am running version: v5.8.8 Thanks ************************************************************************ ** Alessandra De Gregorio Senior Quantitative Analyst FGS Capital LLP 20 St James's Street London SW1A 1ES - UK Tel +44 (0) 20 7451 2149 Fax +44 (0) 20 7451 2101 adegregorio@fgscapital.com www.fgscapital.com <http://www.fgscapital.com/> FGS Capital LLP is authorised and regulated by the FSA and SEC registered ************************************************************************ ** This message is for the named person's use only.
