I don't know if perl itself is the culprit or if it's a regression with Template Toolkit, but enabling the Example extension breaks the UI, see e.g. userprefs.cgi (the list of user preferences is missing). The same happens to my own extension used on a production server.

I can reproduce the problem on two different servers:
perl 5.28.2 and TT 2.28
perl 5.26.3 and TT 2.29

Upgrading Template-Toolkit to at least 3.000 fixes the problem. Maybe it's time to increase the minimum required version for this module, to work with newer versions of perl (master only, to not break current 5.0.x installations).

Summary: The extension system is broken with newer version of perl and/or Template Toolkit → The extension system is broken with Template-Toolkit 2.x and newer version of perl

We'll go with 3.008 per bug 1560873

Fixed in 5.2.
