deprecation warning on deprecated-in-core .pl libs
This is a mandatory warning, not obeying -X or lexical warning bits. To make it behave like an internal deprecation warning would be a lot of hassle to do in pure Perl. The warning is modelled on that supplied by deprecate.pm for deprecated-in-core .pm libraries. It points to the specific CPAN distribution that contains the .pl libraries. The CPAN version, of course, does not generate the warning.
