in thread Perl 5.32.0 Released

Hi Karen, thank you! But I think that's not quite a full picture.

Signatures have not lost the experimental tag in Perl 5.32. I recently asked dave_the_m what the sticking points were and he said that it remains undecided whether @_ will be populated or not. As I read the current doc, it is populated, so that would be an incompatible change.

In my work environment, as is true for many developers, it's not prudent to use experimental Perl features (because they change), so we don't do so.We're anxious to switch to native signatures, especially as Method::Signatures is getting more difficult to use, but we're not going to switch until we don't have to disable 'experimental' warnings.


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

    Hi,

    Devel-Declare-0.006019 builds and tests fine for me on 5.32.0 (MSWindows), with the following hacks:
    1) Replace 0.006019's version of stolen_chunk_of_toke.c with the version that's in 0.006022;
    2) Copy ppport.h from 0.006022 across to 0.006019.

    Method-Signatures-20170211 then also built and installed cleanly - with some test suite noise about Any::Moose having been deprecated in favour of Moo.
    I had to force install Data::Alias, as it failed a couple of tests.

    Note that the following warnings did appear during the compilation of Devel-Declare-0.006019:

      Awesome, thank you brother Syphilis! I'll give this a try in the morrow.
