I use essentially gtk-youtube-viewer and I'm encountering some warnings preventing me to play videos since the last upgrade to perl 5.38.

Can't call method "state" on an undefined value at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/WWW/YoutubeViewer/Itags.pm line 336.

I can play videos with the cli version.

Are you facing the same issue?

EDIT:
4 months later, I reply to myself because I finally took the time to investigate the issue. After the last upgrade to perl 5.38.1, I couldn't even launch the program...
The warning related to XSLoader is specific to perl and has nothing to do with youtube-viewer even if I still don't know what it is.

The warning about the method "state" is what was causing me trouble. I found a fix thanks to the perldoc indicating to prefix the method with the CORE:: namespace.
It says it should be enabled with the use of perl 5.10 or higher, so I don't know why it doesn't work automatically here.
I also encountered a problem with the usage of __SUB__ in YoutubeViewer.pm l.154, then I replaced it with the name of the subroutine directly and I was able to run the program again.

I don't know if Trizen reads the comments here, and it's probably not the best place to report these things, but as I don't see any mention of this issue on github I am probably the only one concerned.
I still hope it will help someone.

$ gtk-youtube-viewer
Can't locate Gtk3.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Gtk3 module) (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.32/site_perl /usr/share/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.32/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.32/core_perl /usr/share/perl5/core_perl) at /usr/bin/vendor_perl/gtk-youtube-viewer line 34.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/vendor_perl/gtk-youtube-viewer line 34.

Solved with this:

$ sudo pacman -S perl-gtk3
