This is a Module::ScanDeps problem. I haven't been able to find out what
exactly is happening, but for some reason, the dependency scan using
Module::ScanDeps adds an entry to the results hash which lacks some
necessary information.

The bug must be somehow related to how PAR::Packer adds the modules
specified with -M to the list of files to scan. Or maybe it's related to
that Term/ReadLine/readline.pm is actually "package readline;"? I'm
really too tired to find out what's wrong.

For completeness sake, here's the dump of the "rv" hash entry for
"readline.pm". Maybe somebody has an idea how this happened.

$VAR1 = {
          'uses' => [
                      'Term/ReadKey.pm',
                      'Term/Cap.pm',
                      'SelfLoader.pm'
                    ]
        };


Best regards,
