While trying to build Pod::Abstract 0.19 http://search.cpan.org/~blilburne/Pod-Abstract-0.19/ on perl 5.11.3 I got the following warning: UNIVERSAL->import is deprecated and will be removed in a future perl at ..../perl/lib/site_perl/5.11.3/Pod/Abstract/Path.pm line 7 The module installs but then another module fails its test as it checks it STDERR and now it has unexpected output on it. Do I understand correctly that best course of action is to notify the author of Pod::Abstract ask him to stop importing the functions from UNIVERSAL ? GaborThread Next
