BBC: Failures after 'undefined import method' merge

[jkeenan]

This ticket is being opened a few days before the merging of GH #23992 ("Implement fatalization of import/unimport method with argument") into blead. Since we now have a technique by which we can test CPAN distributions against a particular commit, branch or tag, we can predict which distributions are likely to newly FAIL, then note such failures as they are reported by CPANtesters in subsequent posts to this ticket.

Alerting our favorite CPANtesters:
@cjg-cguevara @eserte @andk

Alerting some CPAN author/maintainers:
@ingydotnet @charsbar @yanick @wolfsage @dnmfarrell @domm
@doomvox @jjn1056 @lestrrat-p5

The CPAN distributions which may FAIL post-merge (i.e., in perl-5.43.6) will include:

CPAN authors/maintainers: If you see your CPANID there, please:

• Review your bug ticket queues, whether on rt.cpan.org, github.com, or elsewhere, as we filed many bug tickets two years ago when we first attempted this fatalization.

• Inspect your code for statements like:

Test::More::use_ok 'List::Compare', 'compiles okay';

... which until now emits a warning but which will be upgraded to an exception.

• Please pay attention to the status of CPANtesters reports on your CPAN distros once perl-5.43.6 is released.
