Fields manpage​: http​://www.rge.com/CPAN/doc/manual/html/lib/fields.html
The fields manpage has incorrect code at the bottom of the DESCRIPTION
section. Here is the code​:

sub new
  {
  my $class = shift;
  no strict 'refs';
  my $self = bless [\%{"$class\​::FIELDS"], $class; # INCORRECT LINE
  $self;
  }

It's got an opening "{", but it's got no closing "}". I have tested this
example under perl 5.005 and, as expected, it only works if you put in the
closing "}". This is what the code should say​:

sub new
  {
  my $class = shift;
  no strict 'refs';
  my $self = bless [\%{"$class\​::FIELDS"}], $class; # CORRECT LINE
  $self;
  }
