According to the docs (I'm looking at 5.6's perltoot), DESTROY does
any cleaning up you need to do on exit. An empty one is probably
fine unless you actually want to use it for something.
It's probably showing up because of this change:
Failures in DESTROY()
When code in a destructor threw an exception, it went
unnoticed in earlier versions of Perl, unless someone hap-
pened to be looking in $@ just after the point the
destructor happened to run. Such failures are now visible
as warnings when warnings are enabled.

I've looked around a little and don't see the docs anywhere on line
yet. AFAIK, the only way to get the docs is out of the distribution
tarball.
