in thread Bizarro %+ hash slice bug in Perl 5.10 to 5.14.

Thanks for looking into it. I had seen the UNIVERSAL::AUTOLOAD bug (it's the only mention of %+ in perl516delta), but dismissed it as I don't think Test::More installs a UNIVERSAL::AUTOLOAD, and I certainly wasn't. But you're right that the bug I was seeing could have been inadvertently fixed at the same time.

I'll submit the test case to p5p in a couple of days unless anyone can convince me in this thread that the problem is already known to the core devs and tested for somewhere.

This bug has already bitten one of my CPAN releases. Hurray to CPAN testers for alerting me to it so quickly!
