If the module that includes C is located in a core library directory, a deprecation warning is issued, encouraging the user to use the version on CPAN. If that module is located in a site library, it is the CPAN version, and no warning is issued. =head2 EXPORT None by default. The only method is C, called by C. =head1 SEE ALSO First example to C was L. =head1 AUTHOR Original version by Nicholas Clark =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE Copyright (C) 2009 This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself, either Perl version 5.10.0 or, at your option, any later version of Perl 5 you may have available. =cut
