The following code:

use strict;
use warnings;

use XML::Twig;
use File::Spec (qw/canonpath/);

print File::Spec->canonpath ('c:\\x/y\\z/../../p/q\\r.txt');
[download]

generates the error:

"canonpath" is not exported by the File::Spec module
Can't continue after import errors at noname.pl line 5
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at noname.pl line 5.
[download]

If I remove (qw/canonpath/) or swap the order of the two use lines the script behaves as expected.

Is this something subtle, a curious interaction between the two modules, or a bug in one or both of the modules?
