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.
