Since the removal of pseudo-hash support in Perl 5.10, the "fields" module no longer provides the space or speed benefits it did in 5.8. It also does not allow for compile-time checks, only run-time checks. To me, the extra developer overhead in maintaining "use fields" args has become a hassle. None of our non-DS-related code uses fields.pm, nor do any of our current dependencies. In fact, Danga::Socket (which DS was originally forked from) and its subclasses are the only fields.pm users I've ever encountered in the wild. Removing fields may make our code more approachable to other Perl hackers. So stop using fields.pm and locked hashes, but continue to document what fields do for non-trivial classes.
