Hello,
I am a getting a lot of failure reports from CPAN testers on issues with
UNIVERSAL. These testers are using:
perl 5.21.3
Example:
-
http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/4c16902a-2d6b-11e4-a271-e4e1e0bfc7aa
The error is:
"UNIVERSAL does not export anything"
According to the documentation on MetaCPAN on UNIVERSAL, these exports will be
deprecated:
> EXPORTS
> None by default.
> You may request the import of three functions (isa, can, and VERSION), but
> this feature is deprecated and
> will be removed. Please don't do this in new code.
So my question as a module author is, where do I get information on this new
behaviour of UNIVERSAL, I am not able to install perl 5.21.2 using perlbrew, so
I do not know where to look for the documentation and what steps to take to get
this error addressed.
Can anybody provide hints or pointers on how to get more information on this
new version of UNIVERSAL.
