My crystal ball is refusing to tell me about your wang, nor about what
version of MIDI::Simple you have.

Has anyone else had this problem with MIDI::Simple?

I suspect you have an old version, since line 6 of MIDI::Simple 0.77 (the
latest, from the MIDI-Perl 0.79 dist) is the quite harmless:
use Carp;
I'd like to know what your line 6 is.


With Perl 5.6.0 (the latest I have on hand) and MIDI::Simple 0.77, I can't
replicate the error:

C:\WINDOWS>perl -d -e 1
Default die handler restored.

Loading DB routines from perl5db.pl version 1.07
Editor support available.

Enter h or `h h' for help, or `perldoc perldebug' for more help.

main::(-e:1):   1
  DB<1> use MIDI::Simple
[no error works fine! -- SMB]
  DB<2> print $MIDI::Simple::VERSION
0.77
  DB<3> print $]
5.006
