Still a problem as of 5.11.5. Is there any motion to fix this? Its going to bring down Method::Signatures with 5.12.

Probably this entry in perl5120delta.pod applies, so the fix could be rather easy: Uses of C<Nullav>, C<Nullcv>, C<Nullhv>, C<Nullop>, C<Nullsv> etc have been replaced by C<NULL> in the core code, and non-dual-life modules, as C<NULL> is clearer to those unfamiliar with the core code.

Dealing with that and the remove of OP_SETSTATE and a few misc other simple matters (that have come up since then), Data::Alias builds but fails virtually all tests. I talked to xmath on IRC and he indicated that it would be hard to fix Data::Alias due to parser changes (if I correctly recall what he said).

FWIW, Data::Alias::deref() seems to be working on 5.12.0 and is the only functionality used by Data::Visitor. Maybe it would make sense to break it out of Data-Alias into a separate distribution? I've filed [rt.cpan.org #57410] about this on the Data-Visitor side, and a related Debian bug is at http://bugs.debian.org/578547 The Debian bug also has a patch for the simple matters to get Data-Alias to compile in case it's useful for someone. Thanks for your work, -- Niko Tyni (Debian Perl group) ntyni@debian.org

I am also unable to install Data::Alias through cpan on Perl 5.12. I need to downgrade to 5.10 in order to install it.

Data-Alias-1.08, now on CPAN, works on Perl 5.12.
