Thanks, I have a box with 5.38 and

• use v5.36 was still emitting the warnings which couldn't be silenced
• use v5.34 made it work like before

so it seems the maintainers just need to introduce a use v5.34 or earlier (tho I couldn't test with v5.40)

what I tried:

$ cat t_package_sep.pl
BEGIN { warn "Using Perl Version ", $], "\n";}
use v5.34;
no warnings 'deprecated::apostrophe_as_package_separator';
use diagnostics;


use lib '.';
$don't = 1;
use deprecated'apostrophe;


$ cat deprecated/apostrophe.pm
warn "Module ". __FILE__ ." loaded";
1;


$ perl t_package_sep.pl
Using Perl Version 5.038002
Module deprecated/apostrophe.pm loaded at deprecated/apostrophe.pm lin
+e 1.

UPDATE

hmm, strangely this is still producing the silenced warnings. Not sure if it's a bug or a documented feature regarding the deprecated:: category.

use v5.34;
use warnings;
no warnings 'deprecated::apostrophe_as_package_separator';
