[ID 20000429.001] overloaded require gives warnings regularrequire does not

This is a bug report for perl from nick@bactrian.ni-s.u-net.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.28 running under perl v5.6.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

The simplest overload of require e.g.

#!perl -xw

BEGIN {
sub myrequire (*)
{
 my ($mod) = @_;
 $mod =~ s,::,/,g;
 return $] >= $mod if $mod =~ /^\d+(\.\d+)?/;
 return CORE::require("$mod.pm");
}

*CORE::GLOBAL::require = \&myrequire;
}

require base;
__END__

Produces :

Unquoted string "base" may clash with future reserved word at /tmp/bug line 15.
Unquoted string "fields" may clash with future reserved word at /usr/local/lib/perl5.006/share/base.pm line 87.

It seems that normal require can handle lowercase barewords without
the warning but even with the (*) prototype you get the warning when redefined
as a sub. Note that 2nd message above is from base.pm itself, there is another
one in the warnings code.
