use UNIVERSAL qw(can); Deprecated

Hi, UNIVERSAL's import has apparently been deprecated, and if you enable warnings you get a complaint telling you such. The only usage you have of can() in your code it is called as a method and thus doesn't need to be imported (the import is as far as I can tell meaningless and un-used). Simply eliminating line 3 should fix the issue. Thanks! -Chris

The patch is as simple as this:

-use UNIVERSAL qw(can);
+use UNIVERSAL;

Fri Jun 05 03:39:01 2015 The RT System itself - Status changed from 'new' to 'open'

Is 'use UNIVERSAL' even needed, I wonder? UNIVERSAL is always loaded, by definition :)
