Still, I shouldn't have to do that on stable. Weird, weak references seems to work fine with 5.8.8-7etch3 on my slug as well as agnesi.debian.org: slug2% perl -le 'use Scalar::Util qw(weaken isweak); $r=\$foo; print isweak($r) ? "y":"n"; weaken($r); print isweak($r) ? "y":"n"' n y Could you please run % strace -eopen perl -e 'use Scalar::Util qw/weaken/' and send the output so we can see if it's using the system libraries or some local ones? The library where weaken() lives is /usr/lib/perl/5.8.8/auto/List/Util/Util.so . Cheers, -- Niko Tyni [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
