Hi, in most of my modules, I've been using the following lines: 
use Exporter qw(import);
our @ISA = qw(Exporter);
our @EXPORT = qw();
our @EXPORT_OK = qw();

This works fine on my linux environment. But when I ran it on windows with ActiveState 5.8.1, it complains about "'import' is not exported by the Exporter module". Looking at the code of Exporter.pm, nothing is explicitly exported in both cases. What's happening here? (I could just remove the qw(import), but that involves change many files, and I'd like to understand the issue here anyway.) thanks.
