I would like to echo the other wet-blankets. This would be a dangerous animal if released into the wilds. There exists forces plenty enough trying to break our code. Programmers need to be proactive in building defenses not in building bombs.

It seems to be taking a task management problem and pushing out to where it has the potential to be a customer problem.

     deprecate( {
          reason => 'The world is going to end anyway.',
          warn   => '2038-01-01',   # 19 days till end of the world.
          die    => '2038-01-19',   # If you reach here you are 64 bit
+.
      } );
