t/01_config/03_logger.t: Test failure after recent change in Perl 5 blead #1244
Description
After a recent change in Perl's main development branch ("blead"), one test in the Dancer distribution has begun to fail when tested against a perl executable built with that code. The change in Perl in question was:
commit f430ad845a2f4f64125379fb1e31ac5bd85a4e91 (HEAD -> blead, origin/blead, origin/HEAD)

... which is the implementation of a planned fatalization of previously deprecated code, as describe in:
-
issue: Fatalization of calling import/unimport method with argument Perl/perl5#23623
-
pull request: Implement fatalization of import/unimport method with argument Perl/perl5#23992
The test failure in question occurs in t/01_config/03_logger.t:
Attempt to call undefined import method with arguments via package "File::Spec" (Perhaps you forgot to load the package?) at t/01_config/03_logger.t line 6.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at t/01_config/03_logger.t line 6.
t/01_config/03_logger.t .............................
Dubious, test returned 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00)
No subtests run
See: http://fast2-matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Dancer%201.3521;perl=5.43.6;reports=1
Sample failure report: hhttps://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/1fedbcaa-dcee-11f0-9461-f4fb0475d8f5
I suspect the failure lies in this code in the test file:
https://metacpan.org/release/YANICK/Dancer-1.3521/source/t/01_config/03_logger.t#L6
You probably want use File::Spec::Functions qw/catfile/;.
Thank you very much.
