Howdy Brethren,

I come to you with a confusion. I ocassionally use the wonderful Graph module. However, I've been unable to update to the most recent version (0.69), although I could install 0.68. The error message I get is a bit puzzling:

$ perl -w Makefile.PL
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for Graph
Weak references are not implemented in the version of perl at (eval 13
+) line 1

You do not have Scalar::Util::weaken, cannot continue, aborting.
# Looks like your test died before it could output anything.

This was puzzling, but I thought "hmm, I must be missing a module." But no, when I do:

$ perl -MCPAN -e shell

cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.8)
ReadLine support enabled

cpan>
cpan> install Scalar::Util
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /db2/dlink/.cpan/Metadata

Scalar::Util is up to date.

Indeed, I found:

$ perl -MScalar::Util -e 'print $Scalar::Util::VERSION'
1.18

And here is my system-info:

$ perl -v
