The use of ->can did cause CPAN breakage. Personally i find this very irritating that you just push patches related to this without properly engaging the feedback I provided. On the same basis of unilateral imposition of ones own views without debate, why shouldn't i just push a patch that makes Carp load overload.pm? It would be simpler, faster, and would avoid any need to call can() at all. /me irritated that you aren't engaging properly. cheers, Yves -- perl -Mre=debug -e "/just|another|perl|hacker/"Thread Previous | Thread Next
