Support the experimental::for_list warnings category #1208
Description
Summary
CPANSEC::Admin 0.001 cannot load on either PerlOnJava backend because the runtime rejects the valid warning category experimental::for_list.
Reproduction
- CPAN random run:
20260831-214225-16920 - Distribution:
CPANSEC::Admin0.001 - Failing tests:
t/001-basic.t,t/002-getopt.t,t/003-publish.t
The distribution uses no warnings qw(experimental::for_list) alongside Perl's experimental class feature.
Results
- System Perl accepts
use warnings "experimental::for_list". - PerlOnJava JVM backend: all 3 test programs fail before producing TAP.
- PerlOnJava interpreter backend: all 3 test programs fail before producing TAP.
Observed error:
Unknown warnings category 'experimental::for_list'
This is a PerlOnJava warnings-category compatibility gap, not a CPANSEC::Admin behavior failure.

Claim update: implementing experimental::for_list warning compatibility for issue #1208. Included in PR #1936: #1936. Validation passed: nice -n19 make, make check-links, and focused JVM/interpreter unit tests. No current blocker; awaiting review and CI.
fix: support experimental warnings and Sub::Import detection
