Perl 5.12 doesn't like the following alias syntax: use Data::Alias; alias { ($x, $y) = ($y, $x) }; I get the following error: Not enough arguments for Data::Alias::alias at da.pl line 2, near "" syntax error at da.pl line 2, near "" da.pl had compilation errors. Perl 5.10 is ok with it and runs normally.

Subject: D:A fails on alias{(...)=(...)}
Thanks for the report. Turns out there's a problem specifically with the content of an alias{} block starting with a paren. Presumably due to the lexer magic concerning parenthesised function parameter lists. Only affects Perl 5.11.2+: it's something I missed in the course of the big changes for that Perl version, due to it not being in the test suite. I've put a slightly-dodgy workaround into Data-Alias-1.13, now uploaded to CPAN. Hope that fixes it for you.
