Look alike it calls HTTP::Headers->push_header() with a constructed header name of X-Meta-Twitter:card, which obviously fails.

Where 'it', obviously, its HTML::HeadParser - sorry for being unclear.

This was fixed with a8f82837f7d1aae1aca24250b13814fef062ea33 (v3.72)

@haarg so is the assumption that the person who opened this ticket was on a very old version HTML::Parser?

haarg commented 2 years ago

Actually I was wrong about the version this was fixed in. It was fixed in v3.71.

It does seem likely that the reporter of this was using an old version.
