Fedora isn't my distribution, but they distribute this code, so I have to make it run on Fedora without crashing on start due to missing module error, obviously I agree that this is a bug in Redhat/Fedora, but they believe it's a feature to remove core modules from Perl's core modules and then make you install them separately, so that's outside of the scope I can fix.

While their packager can fix and I think does add as a dependency these missing core modules, many users do not use the packaged version since they want a current version, which leads to this issue. Again, the problem here which I'm looking for a solution is the Perl warning, not making Fedora do what I want them to do, which I can't do.

I tried removing the explicit 'find' from File::Find->import, made no difference, though it was a good suggestion.

This error appears without running this logic, it's a perl compile time warning.

I'm guessing when "use File::Find;" is used to load the module, Perl then knows not to worry about specific instances of File::Find in the following code, but when require File::Find is used later one inside of a sub, it doesn't, but that seems weird because Perl knows not to complain about $File::Find::name for example.

As noted, this is very confusing and is I think why I didn't use $File::Find::prune in the past for this feature, I could not figure out how to make Perl not complain on start about this without "use File::Find;" which can't be done.

In reply to Re^2: Why $FIle::Find::prune = 1 returns used only once error by h2
