Monks,

I've a script using almost two dozen modules and as soon as I added Archive::Zip the wondrous "Segmentation Fault (core dumped)" surfaced.

I boiled it down to this simple script (see the comment)... 
use warnings;
use strict;
use Archive::Zip;
use Aspect;

sub def { print 'def'; }

### Uncommenting the following = core dump.
#before { print 'abc'; } call 'main::def';

def();

...which gives the following via the debugger:

I'm afraid this is beyond my comprehension. Any insights as to why these two aren't playing well together?

Thanks!

Update: More from the debugger. It doesn't like the empty string(s)?
