[Omaha.pm] Intermittent Perl error...

[Sterling Hanenkamp]

Do any of the subs do some sort of conditional import into main or muck with
the symbol table?

For example:

use 5.12.1;
sub foo { say 'test' }

if (rand > 0.5) {
    undef *{foo};
}

foo();

50% of the time will print "test" and the other 50% will print:

Undefined subroutine &main::foo called at test.pl line 8.
