Disallow importing functions from UNIVERSAL

It's been deprecated since v5.12.

Chris Prather has already created a ticket in this distribution's bug tracker alerting the maintainer to this problem.

I opened a ticket in the CGI-Application-Plugin-SuperForm bug queue at rt.cpan.org.

Since the maintainers of all affected distributions have been notified (BDFOY has responded to me personally), p5p has done what it can and needs to do. Hence, this ticket is closable.

Thank you very much.

Sorry for the mess. It's hard to memorize that on cpan we use
[rt.cpan.org #12345] and on perl we use [perl #123456].

Given that all these are modules which haven't had new releases for 4+
years (or in one case, 12 years), I don't think this ticket should be a
5.22 blocker any more. Or even that it needs to be kept open.

You're only as old as you look.

From @rjbs

I keep these sorts of tickets open as information to inform my construction of the "KNOWN PROBLEMS" section. It won't really block release, beyond that.

I could make a separate meta ticket, if everyone would be happier, but this is easier for me, and what I've done the last few times.

Closing this ticket and will update perldelta from other sources if required.
