Sure, thats what i was saying elsewhere too. But I dont consider that
a reasonable solution. Consider if dreferencing it means executing it
and its intended purpose is potentially dangerous.
I realize the zeitgeist on this list has suddenly seemingly turned to
"Installing modules that weren't core in Perl 5.005 is hideous, awful, and
causes barefoot, starving, third-world children to go blind", but then have
you considered roles or traits?
I don't think anyone considers Scalar::Util something to be avoided.
It's going to be installed, and it's ok to do so. A massive percentage
of CPAN uses it in some way/shape/form.
