This patch corrects this documentation error.

What does that fix exactly? It seems to make things worse. What was a syntax
error is now valid but incorrect code.
>perl -e"sub Module { die } use Module;"
Original documented equivalent:
>perl -e"sub Module { die } BEGIN { require Module; import Module; }"
Bareword found where operator expected at -e line 1, near "import Module"
(Do you need to predeclare import?)
syntax error at -e line 1, near "import Module"
BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted at -e line 1.
New documented equivalent:
>perl -e"sub Module { die } BEGIN { require Module; Module->import; }"
Died at -e line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.
