Seems fairly self-explanatory to me... you need to (re-)install
Scalar::Util, so you get the XS version.

For the archives, as inevitably someone will email me about this in two
years... :-)

This was fixed by removing and reinstalling all perl packages (RHEL 5).
There is no Scalar::Util::XS and no way that I can see of determining
whether or not Scalar::Util is "XS" or not. I mention this because
Google was of no help whatsoever with this... a few mentions of others
getting the same error, but no explanations of how
to determine whether or not you're installing an "XS" version of
Scalar::Util This was probably one of the packages installed via RPM,
and it's a complete mystery to me how from one install I do not have XS
but another I do. I know nothing about perl other than to (try to)
install whatever modules a given program needs, and I know i'm not the
only one in that boat :-)
