Yes, I don't know any way to disable weak references without recompiling
Scalar::Util, which is part of the main distribution. It is possible
that you installed a second version of Scalar::Util, which is in @INC in
one case and not the other. Check your system for multiple copies of
Scalar/Util.pm.

Are you certain that this is the perl you get when you say "perl" on the
command-line? Check the results of "which perl".

You installed your new compile and nothing changed? That does make me
more suspicious about having a second copy of Scalar::Util lying around.

No, that looks pretty normal to me.
