Here was the exact problem we ran into:
"It throws "Can't call method 'isa' on an unblessed reference" inside of
_is_object. Of course, Test::* is not supposed to let fatals leak out
of its internal code. This was addressed in the version immediately
following."
This bug must be fixed in 0.68 apparently (from the change log):
0.68 Tue Mar 13 17:27:26 PDT 2007
Bug fixes
* If your code has a $SIG{__DIE__} handler in some cases functions like
use_ok(), require_ok(), can_ok() and isa_ok() could trigger that
handler. [rt.cpan.org 23509]
but a bug introduced 0.68 was fixed in 0.70 making it the optimal version.
Thanks!

"perl-5.8.8 has an outdated Test::Builder that's accidentally allowing
an error to propagate outside of its code -- this is triggering the
__DIE__ handler"
An updated perl-Test-Simple-0.70-1.noarch.rpm package we made with
cpan2rpm solved the issue for us, but of course had to be installed with
--replacefiles.
I'll post as soon as I know more.

I wholeheartedly agree! I recently moved development of my
application from RHEL to FC and was disappointed to have to package
our own perl-Test-Simple because the Test::Builder in the main perl
package was still broken. Everything else came as separate modules as
needed.
Hi,
Broken how? Do you have a bugzilla?
Thanks,
