I'm not installing after smoking, no. And checking, it doesn't look like
Log::Dispatch::Array is installed on this perl instance.

Not sure what that means?

I'm running with the cygwin binary perl, so I've got the latest version of
that. I've got no
issues with compiling my own perl, but there are always a few failing tests
which make me
nervous to use for a smoker. I can certainly build one, ignore the errors, and
test the
distribution though.

I too like a good mystery, when there are enough hours in the day to
investigate it.
