Greetings to all! I'm trying to make work old code (proven to work on 5.8.6) with new perl (5.24.1), and in some point it goes to core dump. Here's my own localization class:

package Hello::Locale;
use strict;

use Encode qw(encode);

require Locale::Maketext::Lexicon;
use base qw( Locale::Maketext);

our %Lexicon = (
                _AUTO => 1
               );

sub get_handle {
    my $class = shift;
    my( $lang, $enc ) = @_;
    my $self = $class->SUPER::get_handle($lang);
    $self->{encoding} = $enc;
    $self;
}

sub maketext {
    my $self   = shift;
    my @params = @_;
    my $result = encode( $self->encoding(), $self->SUPER::maketext( @p
+arams));
    $result;
}

sub load {
    my $self = shift;
    my %params = @_;
    Locale::Maketext::Lexicon->import( { $self->language_tag() => [ %p
+arams], _decode => 1});
    1;
}

package Hello::Locale::ru;

use Hello::Locale;
use base qw( Hello::Locale);

our %Lexicon = ();
our $LEXICON_LOADED = 1;

1;

Here's my a program to test my localization class:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
use Hello::Locale;
use Data::Dumper;

my $filename = shift;

my $lh = Hello::Locale->get_handle("ru","KOI8-R");
$lh->load( Messages => $filename);

no strict 'refs';
print Dumper( $lh );
print "Lexicon loaded\n" if ${ref($lh)."\::LEXICON_LOADED"} ;
print Dumper( %{ref($lh)."\::Lexicon" } );
[download]

And here's a result:

% ./test.pl file.msg
$VAR1 = bless( {
                 'encoding' => 'KOI8-R',
                 'blacklist' => {
                                  'get_handle' => 1,
                                  'new' => 1,

                                  'maketext' => 1,
                                  '_compile' => 1,
                                  '_try_use' => 1,

                                  'blacklist' => 1,
                                  'fail_with' => 1,
                                  '_add_supers' => 1,
                                  'fallback_language_classes' => 1
                                }
               }, 'Hello::Locale::ru' );

Now, if i add before a call to $lh->maketext('ok') before print Dumper( %{ref($lh)."\::Lexicon" } ); line - it works and no core dumping. In short, with 5.8.6 i was able to access %subclass::Lexicon before calling $superclass->maketext('anything'), but with 5.24.1 i can't, as if %Lexicon is not exists before $superclass->maketext('anything') call. Is it normal?
