This was *real fun* to track down. Here's a minimal test case of what was happening:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use HTML::TokeParser qw<no_such_function>; print "here"; I run that and it prints 'here', even though HTML::TokeParser does not export 'no_such_function'. No errors or warnings produced. Meanwhile, in code many modules away, UNIVERSAL::require is loaded and my code goes boom! Here's another minimal test case: #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use UNIVERSAL::require; use HTML::TokeParser qw<no_such_function>; print "here"; That produces: :!perl -Ilib parse.pl "no_such_function" is not exported by the HTML::TokeParser module Can't continue after import errors at parse.pl line 7 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at parse.pl line 7. So it's great that I can now easily track this sort of error down, but it's not great that the code mysteriously stops working.
