perl-Lexical-SealRequireHints - Prevent leakage of lexical hints

License: GPL+ or Artistic
Description:
This module works around two historical bugs in Perl's handling of the %^H
(lexical hints) variable. One bug causes lexical state in one file to leak
into another that is required/used from it. This bug, [perl #68590], was
present up to Perl 5.10, fixed in Perl 5.11.0. The second bug causes
lexical state (normally a blank %^H once the first bug is fixed) to leak
outwards from utf8.pm, if it is automatically loaded during Unicode regular
expression matching, into whatever source is compiling at the time of the
regexp match. This bug, [perl #73174], was present from Perl 5.8.7 up to
Perl 5.11.5, fixed in Perl 5.12.0.
