Hi Iain

The error message is strange as the latest version of Lingua::EN::Sentence is
0.25. This code works fine for me


use strict;
use warnings;

use Lingua::EN::Sentence qw/get_sentences/;

my $text = "Once upon a time. There were three bears. And They all. Ate honey.";

my $sentences = get_sentences $text;

foreach my $sentence (@$sentences) {
  print "-- $sentence\n"
}


I am puzzled about Exporter::Heavy, which is something I have never come across
and is oddly reticent about its purpose. All that comes up on an Internet search
is "(internal use only)"

That's all I can offer.
