I'm trying to run an existing application on 5.10 for the first time (5.10.0 for right now) and am getting a warning that is not making it easy for me to track down. Any help from the lazy web would be appreciated.

It goes like this:
Variable "$x" is not available at (re_eval 1070) line 1.
I'm assuming this is pretty deep inside some dependency I'm using (of which my application probably has an old version which doesn't play nicely with 5.10). Google is no help here as it returns a lot of CPAN testers results with the same warning for various modules (http://www.mail-archive.com/cpan-testers@perl.org/msg652326.html, http://trouchelle.com/perl/ppmrepview.pl?id=33577&v=10).

My normal trick of using
$SIG{__WARN__} = \*Carp::cluck;
to get a nice stack trace of where the warning is coming from is not actually giving me a stack trace. Anyone have any extra ideas?
