Hehe, good advice ;-)
However, I had some old code that worked with 0.86, but now
broke with 0.88. Perhaps this restriction on where the
calls can be made should be added to the Friendly Manual.
Just my $0.02, but I think it's not too good to have these
types of restrictions (on where you can call certain
functions) if it can be avoided. Only TC can tell us
if it can/should be fixed.
