fglock has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

perldelta (5.6.1) says:

    Infinity is now recognized as a number.

I'd like to find out what it means, since it doesn't seem to work in Perl expressions like:

 print 1 + Infinity;   # prints "1"

I also tried "Inf", "inf", "infinity", but nothing seems to work.
