=head2 qw(...) can no longer be used as parentheses C lists used to fool the parser into thinking they were always surrounded by parentheses. This permitted some surprising constructions such as C, which should really be written C. These would sometimes get the lexer into the wrong state, so they didn't fully work, and the similar C that one might expect to be permitted never worked at all. This side effect of C has now been abolished. It has been deprecated since Perl v5.13.11. It is now necessary to use real parentheses everywhere that the grammar calls for them.
