I considered that and checked the CPAN Testers Matrix but don't see any failures for L! I figured maybe L was doing something unintentional by loading non-methods that a perlbug allowed to happen all this time? L docs are sparse. Why else would Perl remove a way to do it? Since L is maintained it doesn't seem to be considered a bug.

Anyway I just saw davido's reply too and must say L is black magic to me. I don't even know what it's doing, nor if this is a bug in L, let alone how to fix it or anything. I just love L and want to keep up with new Perl versions and hope someone will post a patch so my local L will autoload non-methods again, without any warnings! 🙏 Thanx 😇
