in reply to bizarre error "panic" with Devel::DProf

What is this error... ?
$ echo "panic: Devel::DProf inconsistent subroutine return at /usr/loc +al/share/perl/5.10.0/JSON.pm line 54." | splain panic: Devel::DProf inconsistent subroutine return at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0/JSON.pm line 54 (#1) (P) Devel::DProf called a subroutine that exited using goto(LABEL) +, last(LABEL) or next(LABEL). Leaving that way a subroutine called f +rom an XSUB will lead very probably to a crash of the interpreter. Thi +s is a bug that will hopefully one day get fixed.

So maybe check if that is what's happening at .../JSON.pm line 54
