in reply to B::Xref buggy?
Line number reporting in perl is a bit dodgy. The only place in the optree where the src line number is recorded is in 'nextstate' ops which are prepended to each statement. Whether B::Xref is doing even worse than is merited even by the poor quality data available to it, I don't know - I haven't looked closely enough at your example.
