I don't think turning off attribute(unused) for all compilers is the correct fix. Why is HASATTRIBUTE_UNUSED defined when your compiler doesn't support it? Did you compile the module with a different compiler than you used to compile Perl?

I am not sure offhand. This was a customer's server and the fix in the URL worked on this box. I was just passing along details. I'll see if I can find out any other details that would help. Thanks!
