Get rid of archaic our @ISA = 'Exporter';. It doesn't make sense, and it hasn't been necessary since 5.8.3 (2004).

Correct. But it is still (as of version 5.72) the documented as a valid way to use Exporter. To make things worse, it is still the first example in the Synopsis, and it is in "Good Practices". See also Re^2: Advice on style, 7.5 years ago. There are no relevant changes in the documentation in the last 10 years / 9 versions: http://search.cpan.org/diff?from=Exporter-5.63&to=Exporter-5.72&w=1#lib/Exporter.pm

Update: Fixed diff link and number of versions (was diff'ing between 5.63 and 5.70)
