Well, the entire point of the warning was that this is most likely to affect newbies or baby perl authors who don't understand what's going on and so need hand holding through updating their code to match. That's what this thread was about, basically - and the current warning is barely more useful than nothing at all for that purposes. As such, I'd be reluctant to ship without making the warning actually useful, otherwise why did we bother adding it at all? -- Matt S Trout - Shadowcat Systems - Perl consulting with a commit bit and a clue http://shadowcat.co.uk/blog/matt-s-trout/ http://twitter.com/shadowcat_mst/ Email me now on mst (at) shadowcat.co.uk and let's chat about how our CPAN commercial support, training and consultancy packages could help your team.Thread Previous | Thread Next
