Subject: Dependency on Sub::Delete is always there, no matter what perl version
The documentation states: This module requires perl 5.8.0 or later and, depending on your version of perl, one of the following modules, which you can get from the CPAN: For perl 5.11.2 and higher: Lexical::Sub For lower perl versions: Sub::Delete However, the code in lexical.pm has an unconditional 'use Sub::Delete;'. This means that Sub::Delete is always required, even if you are using perl 5.11.2 or later. Am I misinterpreting the documentation or should the hard dependency on Sub::Delete be changed to a conditional one depending on perl version? (An alternative, of course, would be to drop support for perl < 5.12.)

I think you are missing the fact that the ‘use’ statement is inside a here-doc that evaluated just before __END__. It has been a while since I last worked on this code. Am I perhaps misreading my own code?
