I've been a long-time user of Class::Struct::FIELDS for data inheritance and automatic accessor creation, but I just found that it doesn't seem to work under perl 5.10:

file1: 


package thing;

use Class::Struct::FIELDS;

struct (thing => {qw {
this    $
that    @
}});

[download]
file 2: 

package morething;

use Class::Struct::FIELDS;
use thing;

struct (morething => [qw(thing)], { qw{
another $
yetmore @
}});

[download]
and finally: 

use thing;
use morething;

$mt = morething->new;
$mt->this('issomething');

[download]
Works great under 5.8.5, but under 5.10 I get: 
Modification of a read-only value attempted at (eval 7) line 48.

Okay, I'm ready to be completely embarrassed by being told I should use something more modern for data inheritance, but I'm somewhat shocked that this could be so utterly broken between two minor (!) Perl version releases.
