$ cat t.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

my $foo = {};

my $baz = $foo->{Bar}->{Name} =~ m/123/ ? "A" : "B";

print "$baz\n";
$foo->{Bar}->create();
$ ./t.pl
Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /home/ianc/t.pl line 7.
B
Can't call method "create" on unblessed reference at /home/ianc/t.pl line 10.

Whereas with:
    my $baz = $foo->{Bar} =~ m/123/ ? "A" : "B";
the error is:
    Can't call method "create" on an undefined value at /home/ianc/t.pl line 10.

IOW something about:
    $foo->{Bar}->{Name} =~ m/123/ ? "A" : "B";
causes $foo->{Bar} to be initialised.

IOW I think the fix to more_prepareguest_hvm is going to fix this too.

I'll fold that in, drop the patch which does make test and force push to
osstest's pretest, then I'll kill the current flight.

Ian.
