Re: CPAN.pm's ->get method destroys objects

Yours appears to overwrite $_, but that doesn't mean get() ordinarily destroys the object which calls it. Still, not localizing $_ is probably is a bug, if that's the source of the problem.

Ah I see. The original code went `$_->get for @packages;` so I kept the sense of that by just assigning to $_ in my example. That is indeed the problem. Substituting in `for my $pkg ( @packages ) { $pkg->get }` corrected the problem.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
