Hm, that's tricky, because it would make that module incompatible with
pre-5.6 Perls.
But presumably one could make do with something like this:
BEGIN{
eval 'use bytes; sub blength ($) { length $_[0] }';
$@ and eval ' sub blength ($) { length $_[0] }' ;
}
and then replace length(...) with blength(...)
That would work, right?
