Huh. This was dying when $last_elt wasn't defined:
$last_elt->paste(last_child => $controls) or die;
So I changed it to this:
$last_elt && $last_elt->paste(last_child => $controls) or die;
Thinking the && would short-circuit the rest if $last_elt wasn't
defined. It doesn't. Here's a demo:
--------
$ cat j.pl
my $j;
$j && $j->what or die;
$ perl j.pl
Died at j.pl line 4.

Oops. Adding parens gets me to the behaviour I expected:
--------
$ cat j.pl
my $j;
$j && ($j->what or die);
$ perl j.pl
$

Live and learn. :)
