    Drat!! Confungalate! His* fu is stronger than my fu. But I will have my revenge!;-)

    Heh heh. That's absolutely correct. Cygwin package perl_pods contains /usr/share/perl5/5.40/pods/perldiag.pod. I think, that is, imho, cavac, based on this investigation, a strong argument could be made for refraining from use diagnostics; in released modules. A pretty strong argument could also be made that the implementation of diagnostics is weird and obscurist ;-)

      I'd rather say it's a strong argument against various distributions/systems' broken packaging of Perl in a non-standard way.
