[cgiapp] critical bug in 'import' of CGI::App 3.21

[Mark Stosberg <suppressed>]

Hello,

This is not something I'm happy to announce, but I found a critical bug
in CGI::App 3.21, and I'd like some help in addressing it. If you haven't
upgraded yet, don't. :)  The issue is with the 'new import' routine-- it's
not completely backwards compatible as it turns out. After upgrading, I get
messages like this in my logs:

'Global symbol "$DBH" requires explicit package name '

...and internal server errors in the browser. The workaround is 
simple: Downgrade, comment out the "import" routine, or perhaps simply
not using global variables will work.

I'm not sure how to best the code that restores the old import/export
functionality while supporting the new Carp related feature. Patches
appreciated there.

Also, I'm still thinking about the best way to write a test for this. 
I'll keep tinkering with that.

Hopefully we can  get this resolved soon. 

In the meantime, it's possible you could catch me on IM as 'markjugg'. 

	Mark
