That's strange. Can you post a stack trace?

Try:
$w1->add($w2); # without taking a reference
Should it require a reference to the watcher?

Wow! That's an actual bug ... fixed.

That's a good idea. I wonder if Event can use lexical warnings? Does
anyone know the answer to this?

All the attributes are the same. What do you want $w->prio(6) to
return? The old priority or the new priority? Is it really worth the
