You're totally right! That bug's fixed. I even copied and pasted :OVERRIDE_BUILD a couple of times to avoid this problem, which I've even run into before, but never the name of the subroutine. Now I wish I had.

This isn't even the first time I've done this. I once submitted a bug report where perl was messing with one of my variables, but the problem turned out to be caused by a bug in my test case. That one lives on in infamy in perl's bug queue somewhere with all the other bugs that aren't actually bugs.

It's so easy to get frustrated, and fixating on something that's not actually the problem. Oops...I'll keep this in mind the next time I think perl is wrong and I am right.

That being said Sometimes, it really IS a bug in Perl; however, the bug in question is on a totally different level than my typo of a bug.

Thanks for reading my code more carefully than I was.
