Hello, Unicode-String fails upon installation as of at least Perl 5.24. It produces the following error messages: Can't use 'defined(%hash)' (Maybe you should just omit the defined()?) at ~/.cpanm/work/1469588114.37954/Unicode-String-2.09/blib/lib/Unicode/CharName.pm line 80. Compilation failed in require at t/charname.t line 3. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at t/charname.t line 3. t/charname.t line 3 invokes the use of String::CharName. CharName.pm, line 80, has a deprecated use of the "defined" function: _init_names() unless defined %NAMES; This should be able to be fixed by simply *removing the 'defined' from line 80*, as described in detail in this post: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=999110 Please let me know if you want any more information about the investigation I've done. Thanks, M. Berg

I just ran into this today as well. Would be great to see it fixed. Olaf

There's a fix out on GitHub - a link and a tarball are in one of the earlier bug reports. However, if you're doing something like using cpanm in a Dockerfile to pull a complete list of modules you need, obviously that doesn't help much. I contacted the module author/maintainer directly and asked them to push the fix, but have received no response.
