there is no object.

Probably the code should test for ref($_[0]) eq "Data​::Dumper" or something similar which deals with derived classes

But... why ddoesn't this cause a problem when using "print"? What does "say" do which provokes the error?

Dump is not a sub. It's a method.

This is strange. None of these lines work for me with 5.26.0, like I
would expect.
What's working though is this line​:

  Data​::Dumper->Dump([$foo], [qw(foo)]);

And this works with both `say` and `print`. This is how it's
documented.

If this works for you​:

  print Data​::Dumper​::Dump([$foo], [qw(foo)]); # works

then it would be interesting to debug that.

Ach.  YABBR  (Yet Another Bogus...)

You are right of course.  I really shouldn't work so late.

Please close.
