I can confirm this behavior with perl 5.10 on Fedora 9. I suppose the
Safe module is somehow blocking the variable accesses, but if so why
doesn't it throw an outright error? Is this a Safe bug, or are we
failing to enable something we should, or perhaps it's actually
necessary to block this for security reasons?? Requires more perl-fu
than I have, unfortunately.
