Situation:
Getopt::Euclid is the first use other than pragmas and constants.

Also, on an unrelated note: The CPAN documentation for Getopt::Euclid states
that "Getopt::Euclid doesn't export
anything.<http://search.cpan.org/%7Edconway/Getopt-Euclid-v0.2.0/lib/Getopt/Euclid.pm#Program_Interface>".
Therefore, it would seem reasonable to assume that adding an explicit empty
import list to the use statment should have no effect. This is not the case;
given an empty import list Getopt::Euclid will fail silently.
