Hi Charles!
First of all, let me just say I'm really sorry for not replying to this sooner. I hate it when my bug reports aren't answered - or aren't answered in a timely manner - and I promise you I'll do my best to keep this from happening again.
That said, I was not able to reproduce your issue. There is a test in t/15-rc_file.t that loads Data::Printer from a BEGIN block with an rc file. It passes on my system and, according to CPAN Testers, on systems with your settings as well (the sole fact that you were able to install Data-Printer, unless you used a "no test" flag, already indicates that it probably is working as expected). Still, just to be on the safe side, I have added an extra test now that specifically calls p() within a BEGIN block. Hopefully it will help us uncover this mystery. It should be available on the next release.
If you can provide me with a way to reproduce your bug, like a code snippet that fails, please do so and I'll jump right back on it! Meanwhile, I'll assume it was some sort of mistake and just mark it as rejected, ok?
Thanks again for submitting the issue, and thank you so much for using Data::Printer!
Cheers,
garu
