Error when dividing plain numbers by a Math::Currency object

I'm seeing a problem when attempting to divide a normal number by a Math::Currency object: $ perl -MMath::Currency -E'say 1 / Math::Currency->new(1)' Can't use string ("1.00") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at [...]/perl-5.12.1/lib/5.12.1/Math/BigFloat.pm line 1787. $ perl -MMath::Currency -MMath::BigFloat -E'say "Math::Currency=$Math::Currency::VERSION"; say "Math::BigFloat=$Math::BigFloat::VERSION"' Math::Currency=0.47 Math::BigFloat=1.9993

This was a behavior change in Math::BigFloat that actually was released in 0.997: http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commitdiff/66a0495875e8130c45cac4fabd5f8d05f2f4c372 I've reported the problem upstream with a trivial fix: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=96329 Thanks for the bug report.
