Re^6: getting headers from essage (deref LIST warning?)

    Sure, I just wanted to highlight why it looked so weird.

    But the question remains if Perl shouldn't better throw a warning if there's a list inside a dereference.

    I can't see any reason why not, except backwards compatibility to bad code which fails on warnings (convoluted case tho)
