I had a look in both the POD and the source: couldn't see anything that dealt with "Can't use bareword ("syntactic_sugar") ..." which I first mentioned in "Re: Perl syntax checking without `perl -c` [general reply to all]".

I checked and found that I did have PPI so I thought I'd install it. More than 45 minutes later, and it's still installing (I have neither a slow machine nor a slow internet connection). The issue seems to involve the "Module::Installed::Tiny dependency tree" — that doesn't look very Tiny to me.

I have to go back to $work now. The installation is still running. I can't wait for it any longer.

Update: I checked back periodically. It looks like the installation hung after about 1hr 10mins.
