One for the Google bot

If you get the following really strange message :

Can't coerce array into hash at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 94. 

Just do

touch Makefile.PL; make ; make install

Yes you need 2 makes: first one will cause Makefile to be rebuilt with the same params as used the first time, second one will do the install you wanted in the first place.

Now the longer question is "WHAT CHANGED?" And I have no answer to that.
