Can you post the code that causes this error?

I mean a small actual test case that shows the problem. The code in that Stack Overflow question seems to work fine, since it's generating output and not dying.

Yes, run the code works correctly, but debugging crashes. I made a screencast for you. It's available on following links: - http://youtu.be/8ZPo6v7L8Kg or - https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B5h6wpurkllBcEh2Q3dqSHl0NHM

That’s interesting. Does this module redefine its overload methods at run time? Is it perhaps triggering a perl bug? https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=69862 comes to mind.

Nope. It just has one 'use overload' statement, which is executed at load time. Show quoted text

Probably. It runs under the debugger in my version of perl just fine. Scottie, to narrow this down, you'll need to post a much smaller test case.

I also had this bug pop up intermittently, though I have been unable to actually determine what conditions cause it to occur. However, it looks like changing line 34 in Path/Class/Dir.pm from: $_[0] eq '' ? (shift, $s->rootdir) : to: "$_[0]" eq '' ? (shift, $s->rootdir) : should prevent the error from occurring.

Hi Rick, thanks for tracking this down. Does the following patch also fix it? ================== --- a/lib/Path/Class/Dir.pm +++ b/lib/Path/Class/Dir.pm @@ -28,7 +28,7 @@ sub new { my $s = $self->_spec; my $first = (@_ == 0 ? $s->curdir : - $_[0] eq '' ? (shift, $s->rootdir) : + !ref($_[0]) && $_[0] eq '' ? (shift, $s->rootdir) : shift() ); ==================
