I am pretty sure this should not affect anything sane. It seems to have about a dozen actual callers on CPAN: http://grep.cpan.me/?q=-file%3Appport.h+hv_clear_placeholders It’s not a big effort to send patches for those, but there is enough use that I assume there must be a small amount of use in the DarkPAN also, and we can’t patch that. So this seems to call for a whiny placeholder to get people to switch, which loads and calls Hash::Util for them in the meantime (like FatherC’s approach with arybase). Also I guess its deprecation warning should mention which version of Hash::Util callers need to depend on when they switch, so people don’t forget to ensure that they do. (I didn’t look at the other functions yet, so I can’t say about any of them. Hopefully they don’t all need stubs.)
