Description of problem: examples/install prints warnings during exit - same is probably true of program using Newt::Form::xxx. Use of inherited AUTOLOAD for non-method Newt::Form::DESTROY() is deprecated during global destruction (#1) Use of inherited AUTOLOAD for non-method Newt::Form::DESTROY() is deprecated during global destruction. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bash-3.00$ rpm -q perl-Newt perl-Newt-1.08-17 bash-3.00$ How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: Run "perl expample/install". Additional info: Adding this to Newt.pm makes the warnings go away: *Newt::Form::AUTOLOAD = \&Newt::AUTOLOAD; That's the recommended workaround from 'man perldiag'.
Note that this issue applies to RHEL4 at least, and probably other releases.
I've pinged Alejandro E. M. about possible new release with this fix.
I've got bounces emailing both the address from README and his @cpan.org email address. It looks like upstream of Newt is lost.
