Use Hash::Util::FieldHash::Compat instead #1

Unfortunately for some of us, we're still stuck in the 5.8 world - as much as the community wants to move on. It would be more idealistic if Clone could use Compat - which transparently provides the correct interface regardless of Perl version unless a better solution can be found.

It appears you've fixed this as of bec06be59ca.

It would have been nicer if you rejected me, or told me to raise it on RT instead :frowning:

Hey, squeeks,

I'm really sorry for not replying to this! For some bizarre reason I have lost several of my github mail for the past few months, but it seems to be fixed now -- as I did get this message, at least. The commit happened simply because ribasushi spotted the same error as you in RT81774 and I was looking at that queue a lot back then hoping to zero it out. I assure you this was not due to a preference for RT or for deciding to ignore your request (how lame would that be?), I just didn't see this at all. I honestly apologize.

The reason I asked the original author for the co-maint of Clone is exactly to be able to reply quicker to requests and to finally close some long-standing bugs that the dist had. If you have any extra contributions, please don't hesitate to open issues (either here or on RT) and send us pull requests. And if I don't reply in more than a week then it's probably because I missed it entirely, so please just drop me an email and I'll make sure to take a look.

Finally, I feel your pain: some of my own production code for a local company is also stuck in 5.8. Hang in there! :)

Cheers!

Don't worry about it, it was fixed better than my fork could have. If it was a serious problem, I would have nagged you about it.
