We use UNIVERSAL::require quite a bit

The line that dies boils down to this

use constant BaseClass => 'Jifty::View::Declare::BaseClass';
#...
Jifty::Util->require(BaseClass);

UNIVERSAL::require checks BaseClass with ref() I'm wondering if that  
return value changed in blead

/me waits for compilation to finish up

Thanks for the heads up
