As in #17175, the breaking commit implemented the scheduled fatalization in perl-5.32 of a situation which was previously deprecated. So, other things being equal, the CPAN code should be updated to adapt to the changes in core.

Thank you very much.

I don't consider this a blocker for 5.32. I want to keep the ticket though.

Any strong objections?

No. Keep open but not a blocker. The reason for the BBC was a deprecation announced two production releases ago, so maintainers have had plenty of time to adapt.

Thank you very much.

Last update to this module was over 10 years ago, it appears to have been abandoned by its author (though activity continues in some of his other modules). Is there any remaining value from keeping this ticket open?

Two years ago I agreed to keep this open at the request of the former pumpking, but I think this ticket is now safely closable. I will self-assign it for the purpose of closing it in 7 days unless someone (in authority) provides a compelling argument otherwise.

Closing ticket as per schedule.
