in reply to Recent perl distributions without support for Scalar::Util::weaken() ?

I've seen a few people complain about this problem, and they always solved it by compiling perl themselves. The vendors seem to do all sorts of odd things for the stock versions of perl. I wonder if you can surgically fix this by installing Scalar::Util yourself.

I think the best you can hope for is a note in your docs that explains the error message and the fix (recompile perl or Scalar::Util).
