in thread RFC: Devel::Deprecate

I think you're right about the 'if' condition. Not sure what I was thinking, though it's now in there and I've already uploaded.

By default, the deprecate() sub will only run if you're running tests (it checks for the $ENV{HARNESS_ACTIVE} variable). If, for some reason, this variable is true in your code, you can set $ENV{PERL_DEVEL_DEPRECATE_OFF} to a true value to disable the deprecation. Of course, as previously pointed out, merely omitting the 'die' date ensures that no fatal error will occur.

Cheers,

    Maybe you can... uh, what's the word... remove it from the supported features? :)
