  Description : Pragma to disable illegal prototype warnings on old Perls

warnings::illegalproto was implemented so that people can use strictures and
use signatures at the same time. Thanks to mst, in Perl 5.12 and greater this
is trivial, but before that a strange dance had to be done.

Is there a way to speak with the author for changing to a better license?
I think it is meant the Artistic Version 1 license which seems not to be
DFSG compatible. And instead of GPL 1+ it would be nice to use at least
GPL 2+.

Have a nice day.

Artistic and GPL-1+ is the standard licensing for Perl modules, which
are usually licensed “under the same terms as Perl itself”.

(AFAIK the Artistic License is compliant with the DFSG, but not GPL
compatible. That is why dual-licensing with GPL is used.)
