in reply to Update to smartmatch

Apparently, a lot of code on CPAN uses the experimental features, and are breaking as the result of the change you mentioned. Things are very much still quite in flux.

    imho, smartmatch is "experimental", will likely never be stable, and should not ever be used in any code on the CPAN. If it is used in any authored code, the documentation should state it clearly, and warn loudly.
