[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#1094466: perlnavigator: incorrect syntax warnings with perl 5.40

[David Nebauer]

Package: perlnavigator
Version: 0.6.0~dfsg-3
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: davidnebauer at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

With perl 5.40 perlnavigator began reporting syntax errors on the
following line:

  use namespace::clean -except => [qw( _options_data _options_config)];

The exact error is:

  Syntax: Attempt to call undefined import method with arguments
          ("-except" ...) via package "namespace::clean" (Perhaps you
          forgot to load the package?)

Upstream has identified the problem (see issue #138 on github repo) and
fixed it on 20 August 2024, stating:

  The fixed version is available in the vscode marketplace and on NPM,
  both as version 0.8.15

This is an irritating error and updating the package with the
fixed/current version of perlnavigator would save users a lot of stress
and annoyance.
