Re^3: use fields;

Re-reading the documentation, Perl 5.8.x still uses the pseudo-hash implementation, so I guess you will have to temporarily switch off the warnings for that section of code:

my $self = do {
  no warnings 'deprecated';
  fields::new($class);
};

I know that. It worryes me that after month or year Perl developers team will decide to forbid using pseudo hashes. So, I'm trying to find a way to produce a good code, probably without problems in the future. --- Michael Stepanov aka nite_man It's only my opinion and it doesn't have pretensions of absoluteness!

Did you read the documentation for the fields pragma? It specifically mentions the differences between the pseudo-hash version for 5.8.x and lower, and the pseudo-hash free version for 5.9.x and higher. This distinction is made because, in 5.9.x and higher, pseudo-hashes will be gone. So, as long as you `use fields;`, and use `fields::new`, you should be safe, according to the documentation.	[reply]

And using fields::new is supposed to make the warning go away in most circumstances.	[reply]
