When I try to use B::Lint I get the error
Can't locate object method "PV" via package "B::SPECIAL""
Does anyone know where B::SPECIAL is defined?
TIA,

The B-Specials: Armed, part-time section of the Royal Ulster
Constabulary. The B-Specials helped to police Northern Ireland between
their formation in 1920 to their abolition in 1969. They were replaced
by the Ulster Defence Regiment (UDR) in 1970.
I trust this is the information you require. If not then your
original question was not specific enough.

It's defined, such as it is, in ext/B/B.{pm,xs} in the perl
distribution. An object of class B::SPECIAL represents one of the magic
internal Perl objects, such as the 'undef' value. It doesn't define a PV
method.
Which version of Perl, and which version of B::Lint, are you using?
There have been several updates to B::Lint recently: it might be worth
upgrading. If that doesn't help, you've found a bug; reduce it to a
*minimal* testcase and report it at rt.cpan.org.

Thanks, that was the problem.
