  Sun Oct 28 07:46:00 2018 SREZIC [...] cpan.org - Ticket created
Subject: Depends on broken CPAN distribution Object-Import
WWW-Mechanize-PhantomJS (and also ...-Chrome and -Firefox) depends on Object::Import, which does not have a clean test suite for newer perls, see https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=106769 . This means WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS cannot be installed unless something like "notest"/"force" in the cpan installer is used, or Object::Import is patched (e.g. using a distroprefs file). I wonder if you can do something about it, e.g. take over the broken module (it seems that your distributions are the only ones depending on Object::Import), or find a way to not use this module anymore.

I have already contacted the author regarding taking over the module, but haven't heard back from them. Show quoted text

The only use of the module is for the ::DSL modules, which are mostly used for fun. Spinning them off is too much effort. -max

Ambrus has graciously handed over maintenance of Object::Import to me and I've released a fixed version.
