| Subject: | XML::Parser::PerlSAX should not "use UNIVERSAL" |
Using .07 but it looks as though .08 has same problem:
So if you want to reproduce the problem just do:
perl -e 'use XML::Parser::PerlSAX; use Crypt::Random;'
It will produce nasty messages about Crypt::Random not exporting subs.
Notice that the following does the same error:
perl -e 'use UNIVERSAL; use Crypt::Random;'
I'm using 5.6.1 and can not upgrade as of yet, I think that using UNIVERSAL in later version of perl may work but it is still not suggested.
See following about not use'ing UNIVERSAL:
