I mentioned that we removed UNIVERSAL::can because of bugs introduced
by global behavior changes, but to be fair to chromatic, I should
explain that this is because of code in Template::Timer:
perl -MUNIVERSAL::can -MTemplate::Timer -e 1
Died at lib/perl5/Template/Timer.pm line 63.
Compilation failed in require.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
The problem is this line in Template::Timer:
my $super = __PACKAGE__->can("SUPER::$sub") or die;
This is OO code and that should actually read:
my $super = __PACKAGE__->can($sub) or die;
That makes the problem go away. Barring a local fix or the author
fixing this, eliminating UNIVERSAL::can made the problem go away.
David Wheeler reported this problem earlier at
