Really? They are different, perl5110delta describes the differences from 5.10.0 The all important Yada Yada operator (...) is only available in 5.11.0

    Yes, it's a good point that I neglected the poor Yada Yada operator! You prompted me to do what I should have done in the first place …. According to the all-knowing diff, aside from such obvious differences as one delta mentioning 5.10.1 where the other mentions 5.11.0, we have:
    • Unicode interpretation of … redefined.
    • Labels can't be keywords.
    • length undef = undef and a grab-bag of other small, pleasant stuff (see lines 376–408 of perl5110delta).
    • miniperl and internals stuff.
    • Changes in parsing of #line.
    • An extra method for tied filehandles.
    • The \N escape (I could have sworn I saw it in the 5.10.1 delta, but it seems not!)
    • Implicit strictures via use VERSION
    • The all-important Yada Yada operator
    Then I got too tired to read through all the module changes. :-)
