Bug#617755: libcrypt-x509-perl: Crypt::X509 should not export error(), new(), not_before(), not_after(), or serial()

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

Package: libcrypt-x509-perl
Version: 0.50-2
Severity: normal

The attached simple demonstration program produces a spurious warning
because of subroutines needlessly exported by Crypt::X509.

0 dkg@pip:~$ ./demo-new.pl 
Subroutine new redefined at ./demo-new.pl line 8.
0 dkg@pip:~$  

The documentation makes no claims that it will export any subroutines
by default, but X509.pm contains:

our @EXPORT      = qw(error new not_before not_after serial);

I believe these should be removed from @EXPORT.
