I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

Re: bug in new -listx option
Thank you very much for reporting this. I can't understand why you get this error and I don't, since I tested this on Perl 5.10 here, but there is indeed a problem. You can fix this in your copy by moving the "no strict 'refs'" statement at line 521 of TagInfoXML.pm to before line 520.

This will be fixed in the next release.
