Re^3: Back to the __future__

What's wrong with:

use 5.18;
no 5.22;

which would mean "use any release after 5.18, but not 5.22 or higher".

Help. /me has a hard time parsing that. With Jesse's proposal that would render the second statement useless, as the first already states that you want it the way it is for 5.18. Nothing wrong with that. But in that proposal, you (as a programmer, not as author here) ignore all the stuff that was released after 5.18 so no 5.20; is useless as you already said so.

What I was looking for is about what Corion said. I need at least version X (because an important bug was fixed or some new (at that time) killer feature was being introduced (like Unicode 6.0 in 5.14.1) but I trust perl to have not fucked up in later releases. That is how I always interpreted the use v5.12; syntax.
