in reply to RFC: Suggestion for future version of perl

As a developer, this would be nice. Unfortunately, this would break existing Perl code that is not strict or warnings clean. Actually, this might even break some core tests that rely on the fact that strict and warnings are not enabled.


Test your modules with bleadperl!

  rsync -avz rsync://public.activestate.com/perl-current/ .
  ./Configure -des -Dusedevel -Dprefix=/path/to/test/perl
  make test
  make install

Now, please test you modules! If you have test failures that don't happen with Perl 5.8.8, send a simplified test case to

    And once again we see why Perl 6 had to take a "break everything all at once" approach. Perl 5 was not designed to evolve nearly as well as its author thought at the time... ;)
