There is a bug in 5.10.0 when it comes to attributes and errors. The nature of
the bug is that error messages are eaten and you just get "Unknown

How can we reproduce this?

I'm afraid that without further explanations, this bug report is useless.

This is upstream bug #49472
(http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=49472), fixed by
upstream change 33265
(http://public.activestate.com/cgi-bin/perlbrowse/p/33265).

This is indeed a very annoying bug (particularly for users of Catalyst,
which makes significant use of attributes), with a very small fix that
doesn't depend on other upstream changes.

The fix will, of course, be included in perl 5.10.1, but it would be
nice, particularly for Catalyst users, to see an update to Debian's
5.10.0 with the fix before then.
