Attempting to install Class::Observable 1.04 via CPAN shell in Perl, I get the following (full install transcript at bottom): [...] Running make test PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t t/class_observable....ok t/inherited...........panic: magic_killbackrefs during global destruction. t/inherited...........dubious [...] This is on Perl 5.8.0 with the MAINT18379 patch applied on Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (2.4.21-20.0.1.EL).
