I have seen this Heisenbug several times and never found the cause. It always disappeared without leaving a trace. Did you leave and re-enter the cpan shell? Another suspect is this line in Test/Reporter/Transport/Metabase.pm (David listen!) use base 'Test::Reporter::Transport'; It would improve error checking to write this as: use Test::Reporter::Transport; use base 'Test::Reporter::Transport'; I'm sure there re many more spots using 'use base' in the one-line style whereas I always recommend writing it in the two-line style for better error checking. -- andreas
