I haven’t got to testing them yet, but I suspect at least these modules’ tests will break, based on a CPAN grep​:

Acme​::use​::strict​::with​::pride
Apache​::EmbeddedPerl​::Lite
Coat
Config​::Vars
Dancer
DBIx​::VersionedSubs
Function​::Parameters
lib​::with​::preamble
Moose
MooseX​::Method​::Signatures
Mouse
Padre
Parse​::Keyword
triceps

This is the commit which we expect will cause some breakage -- correct?
