Re: Beware List::MoreUtils natatime()!

It would seem to be an XS bug - setting the environment var LIST_MOREUTILS_PP=1 makes it go away.

Not for me:

$ LIST_MOREUTILS_PP=1 perl foo
String found where operator expected at (eval 1) line 206, near "Carp:
+:croak "each_arrayref: argument is not an array reference\n""
        (Do you need to predeclare Carp::croak?)
String found where operator expected at (eval 1) line 226, near "Carp:
+:croak "each_array: unknown argument '$method' passed to iterator.""
        (Do you need to predeclare Carp::croak?)
Use of inherited AUTOLOAD for non-method List::MoreUtils::natatime() i

It runs (with the memory leak) if I don't set LIST_MOREUTILS_PP.

Your bug sounds like your version is depending on an accident of not-quite recent perls. It used to often "just work" to say `Carp::croak '...';`. That was accidental and whenever you see an exception like this, just make sure to load Carp in advance of loading the thing you're using. In your example, do: `$ LIST_MOREUTILS_PP=1 perl -MCarp foo`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Looking into the source of List::MoreUtils, I find: `require Carp; Carp::croak "some message";` [download] That only works if Carp was already loaded. In older versions of Perl, there was a common pragma (vars?) that loaded it, but that no longer is loaded in 5.10. Hence the error. And another reason to not use List::MoreUtils.	[reply] [d/l]

This fix is so trivial, it's not a real reason to avoid it. ⠤⠤ ⠙⠊⠕⠞⠁⠇⠑⠧⠊	[reply]
