Randal> Something is not right about the installation of List::Util from Randal> maintperl. That old "darwin/List/Util.pm" bothered me. So I removed it. Something installed it a while back, but I no longer care, because installing maintperl puts in a Scalar/Util that works right for weak. So, while it might have been an issue with 5.8.7 near may 23rd, it's no longer a problem (except for people installing over existing installations, like me). Sorry for the false alarm. -- Randal L.
