    The fact that apparently Scalar::Util as shipped with ActivePerl does not work is a big problem.

      From what I remember, Ubuntu, Debian, and Mac OS X Perl's all had the same problem with Scalar::Util. Appartantly, something in how Scalar::Util installed it shared lib was different than the other modules. This have been fixed with change #28344.
