Subject: | UNIVERSAL->import is getting deprecated with Perl 5.12.0 |
We have a bug report in Debian concerning the transition to perl 5.12:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=615885.
From perl5120delta.pod, which lists significant changes with Perl 5.12.0:
The method C<< UNIVERSAL->import() >> is now deprecated. Attempting to
pass import arguments to a C<use UNIVERSAL> statement will result in a
deprecation warning.
From my build log on i386 with perl 5.12.3-1 from experimental:
UNIVERSAL->import is deprecated and will be removed in a future perl at
t/01_basic.t line 37
I can see this warning in the cpan test results:
