However, there is a larger issue here. ParrotLibrary objects are not intended to be directly instantiated, and all internal uses have a metadata hash attached. ParrotLibrary objects created in this naive way will not emulate actual usages and will likely not interact well with the rest of the system (as demonstrated by this bug).
