SpamAssassin-3.3.1 is very noisy under 5.12.0-RC1 (and even fails one test due
to that noise). Specifically it throws up this warning:
defined(%hash) is deprecated at /home/doughera/my/perl/lib/site_perl/5.12.0/Mail/SpamAssassin/Dns.pm line 757.
(Maybe you should just omit the defined()?)
and also 36 copies of this warning:
warn: Use of "goto" to jump into a construct is deprecated at /home/doughera/my/perl/lib/site_perl/5.12.0/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/Check.pm line 409.
(I also get 887 "Use of uninitialized value in lc" warnings from various
spots in various support modules, and am still tracking them down.
I suspect these are not 5.12.0-specific.)
This has already been reported by Slaven to the SA bug queue:
https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6392
For 5.12.0, it's obviously too late to address the question of whether
36 identical copies of the 'goto' warning should be printed, or whether
one would have been sufficient, but I might have a look at implementing
something like that for 5.13.x.
However, I think this is worth adding to that errata page.
