Hi, folks.

I upgraded ActiveState ActivePerl from 5.22 to 5.24 today. c:\bugzilla\checksetup.pl gives me this new message now:

Could someone please tell me more about this? I don't want to go back to 5.22 as I'm trying to keep things fairly up to date on this server. But I don't know how to handle this error.

Thanks for any help.

Omitted info:

I'm running an non-patched Bugzilla 5.0.3 from git.

And I have the latest version of File-Slurp installed (9999.19). To wit:

This is a warning, no error, no need to worry currently. What was
broken before is still broken, what wasn't, isn't. This warning is
only there to tell users that possibly broken usage will get removed
in future, so newer versions of Perl might break in future. You can't
do anything about that, File::Slurp needs to be fixed or Bugzilla
needs to not use it anymore, which it does already.

Thank you, Mr. Schöning. I'll stick with ActivePerl 5.24 then and just ignore this.
