I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but what could it possibly be? 
$ perl -MLingua::EN::Inflect -e 1 
Modification of a read-only value attempted at /usr/local/lib/perl5/si

This is perl, v5.8.3 built for i386-freebsd

Seems that it's related to perl 5.8.x? Tried on two linux boxes, got the same error with 5.8.4, and it worked properly with 5.6.1. So what's wrong with this picture? I ran into this when trying to get Class::DBI::Loader::Relationship to work for Maypole. Any hints welcome!
