in reply to Bug in 5.8.0 fields/base pragmata?

I tried your test program with perl 5.8.0 on two different platforms (neither Linux). Both worked fine--I could not reproduce the bug. Make sure that you don't have an old version of 'fields.pm' in your @INC path. When I do this:
 perl -Mfields -le 'print $fields::VERSION'

I get 1.02.

    Aha! I have a newer version of fields.pm.

    Mine says 1.0201, which is probably because I installed Class::Fields, which appears to overwrite base.pm and fields.pm.

    So perhaps this bug is really in the Class::Fields module. I'll contact its author about it and report back.
