Subject: Misleading note in docs about strict refs
From the docs: This module provides nicer equivalents, along with the universal method C<super> to determine a class' own superclass. This allows you to do things such as: goto &{$_[0]->super('my_method')}; if you don't like wasting precious stack frames. (Because C<super> returns a coderef, much like L<UNIVERSAL/can>, this doesn't break C<use strict 'refs'>.) But goto &{...} is exempt from strict refs, so that last sentence is misleading.
This was fixed in a previous release. I apologize for not updating this ticket then. Thanks for reporting!
