7
9 use deprecate; # always deprecate the module in which this occurs
10
11 use if $] > 5.010, 'deprecate'; # conditionally deprecate the module

14 This module is used using "use deprecate;" (or something that calls
15 "deprecate->import()", for example "use if COND, deprecate;").
16
17 If the module that includes "use deprecate" is located in a core
18 library directory, a deprecation warning is issued, encouraging the
19 user to use the version on CPAN. If that module is located in a site
20 library, it is the CPAN version, and no warning is issued.
