--- Comment #2 from Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx> ---
The reasoning for this looks to be that the upstream Lexical-Var distribution
(which contains Lexical::Sub, and provides support for lexical exports in the
absence of native support, i.e. prior to 5.37.2) hasn't been updated for the
best part of a decade and is broken with Perl 5.22 onwards. The Fedora
perl-Lexical-Var package includes a patch to fix this (see also
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=115992), as does the CPAN
distribution Alt::Lexical::Var::ButSupportModernPerl.

The approach taken in Exporter::Tiny, which recently added lexical export
support, is to check for the availability of Lexical::Sub at runtime and use it
if available. It adds a "recommends" dependency on Lexical::Sub or
Alt::Lexical::Var::ButSupportModernPerl (depending on the perl version) in the
Makefile.PL to support that. The Fedora package just has a build dep (for
testing) of perl(Lexical::Sub) and a Recommends: for it at runtime. Maybe
Sub::Exporter::Lexical could do something similar?
