Bug ID: 40680
Summary: Many warnings on Perl 5.40 due to importing methods
from not yet defined packages
Change sponsored?: ---
Product: Koha
Version: Main
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: critical
Priority: P5 - low
Component: Architecture, internals, and plumbing

Cause of the issue:
https://metacpan.org/release/HAARG/perl-5.40.0/view/pod/perldelta.pod#Calling-the-import-method-of-an-unknown-package-produces-a-warning
It's a problem with the fresh Debian 13. (it's time we have actual support, CI
for it was disabled due to some other issue)
Ubuntu 24.04 has perl 5.38 so it works cleanly. But the next in 2026 will also
have this issue.
== Test plan ==
1. Start a Debian 13 Koha: KOHA_IMAGE=main-trixie ktd up
2. Tons of warnings on start but it ends up starting (see end of this message
for the warnings)
3. perl -c mainpage.pl
4. Tons of warnings again
5. restart_all
6. Tons of warnings again
7. Things seem to work though (checkout, checkin, search in staff and OPAC)
== Severity==
Critical because it looks like Koha is broken. And it will hide actual issues.
One case in chat from someone upgrading. And us thinking there is really
something broken given their output:

follow-up:
https://chat.koha-community.org/koha-community/pl/w71jx511ppf59cfqezgy1fpcrc
And me who though my KTD failed to fully start. And when investigating, when
running a test, it looked at first as if it failed. But no it works.
