I've tested this theory by patching Data::Dumper , but it produced accurate errors and not the ones from the OP.

No problems to undo the changes at the end.

# --- introduced 'die' before module's end D:\>perl -MData::Dumper -e0 test at C:/Strawberry/perl/lib/Data/Dumper.pm line 852. Compilation failed in require. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted. # --- changed final 1 to 0 D:\>perl -MData::Dumper -e0 Data/Dumper.pm did not return a true value. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted. # --- undid all changes D:\>perl -MData::Dumper -e0 D:\>
