Subject: [PATCH] Eliminate Scalar::Util usage from private-Error.pm

From: Petr Baudis <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2006 03:03:58 +0200

We used just the blessed() routine so steal it from Scalar/Util.pm. ;-)
(Unfortunately, Scalar::Util is not bundled with older Perl versions.)

This is a newer much saner blessed() version by Randal L. Schwarz.
