Stas, I ran some tests before making this request to p5p. In doing so, it turns out the cure is not much better than the bug; it really just side skirts the problem by doing an empty return (see the import method that's been added to UNIVERSAL.pm in bleadperl).
We still are faced with the problem that importing UNIVERSAL is overwriting/overloading the import subroutine in lib (and apparently all other loaded modules). Furthermore, from the notes in UNIVERSAL, this behavior can't be fixed. This leads me to want to avoid use UNIVERSAL in any of my code but I can't fix all the released modules. Given that A::T is calling the undocumented method lib->import directly, it seems it should work around this problem if tests import UNIVERSAL. Could line 223 in A::TestConfig be changed to the following: unshift(@INC, $topdir); William -- Knowmad Services Inc. http://www.knowmad.com
