It's been deprecated for quite some time, and the fact that it was deprecated was documented in, eg, 5.18.1: https://metacpan.org/pod/release/RJBS/perl-5.18.1/lib/UNIVERSAL.pm ICBA to check all the other 5.18s or any further back, but I presume it was documented in 5.1[68].*. > Can anybody provide hints or pointers on how to get more information on this > new version of UNIVERSAL. I thought that there was a policy to have upcoming deprecations generate warnings, which would make this more obvious, but I don't remember seeing any for this. Either I misremember, or this deprecation was created before the warning policy. -- David Cantrell | top google result for "internet beard fetish club"
