Re^3: How to grep exact string

I think (hope!) that smart match is mature enough at this point that you can rely on its behavior not changing for such a basic case.

Nevertheless, another way of solving the problem is always useful.

I imagine that Perl will continue to support the old behaviour by default and an explicit `use 5.xxx` statement will enable the new behaviour via feature. (Much like how `use 5.010` enables `state`, `say`, etc.) `perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
