I'm using perl 5.26.
The following perl-lib function fails.
perl -e 'use charnames qw{:full};'
Undefined subroutine utf8::SWASHNEW called at /usr/share/perl5/5.26/_charnames.p
m line 176.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/share/perl5/5.26/charnames.pm line 6.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/perl5/5.26/charnames.pm line 6.
Compilation failed in require at -e line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.
Haven't tried newer versions due to problems.
Also, 'cpan' fails due to the same error:
cpan
Undefined subroutine utf8::SWASHNEW called at /usr/share/perl5/5.26/Safe.pm line
70. ...
Is this known to be fixed in 5.28 and/or 5.30? Maybe that module
can be fixed?
Thanks,
linda
