Subject: [patch] UNIVERSAL::can() warnings in Template::Provider
We often get this warning from Template::Provider using Template-Toolkit-2.18, Linux 2.6.17-11, perl 5.8.8: Called UNIVERSAL::can() as a function, not a method at /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8/Template/Provider.pm line 276 To fix this, we applied this patch to Template::Provider: 285c285 < elsif (UNIVERSAL::can($dir, 'paths')) { --- Show quoted text
> elsif (ref($dir) && UNIVERSAL::can($dir, 'paths')) {
Test suite passes after the patch. Thanks, Ted Carnahan

Dear Andy, I'm sure you'll be sick to the teeth of hearing about UNIVERSAL::can after that mammoth thread on London.pm recently, so I'm sorry to bring this up again. Given that you said "So it's still valid, but officially Not Recommended.", would you be willing to apply Ted's patch for the next release? I don't rate this at all as high priority, it would just be nice for keeping test output tidy. Thanks, Earle.
