Greetings.

I am trying to discover how to use App::Cronjob, and in the process I've stumbled across a problem with the dependency Getopt::Long::Descriptive. I thought that calling the run method of App::Cronjob with no arguments, would allow me to follow how App::Cronjob was working, so that I could make some documentation to give to another person. Instead of G::L::D generating a usage message, I am getting problems with symbolic references (perl 5.10.0 on Debian/unstable). I don't understand the process of generating the usage message. In particular: 

sub text { shift->(1) }

If I turn off strict in G::L::D just before this statement, I get an undeclared subroutine ($main::1).

But if someone could comment on the usage message process for G::L::D, that would be wonderful. Thanks.
