This is upstream bug #49472 (http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=49472), fixed by upstream change 33265 (http://public.activestate.com/cgi-bin/perlbrowse/p/33265).
This is indeed a very annoying bug (particularly for users of Catalyst, which makes significant use of attributes), with a very small fix that doesn't depend on other upstream changes. The fix will, of course, be included in perl 5.10.1, but it would be nice, particularly for Catalyst users, to see an update to Debian's 5.10.0 with the fix before then. -- -- Jason Rhinelander -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
