Are you referring to builtin::true etc. in builtin? Nobody has mentioned them yet in this thread.

Or are you talking about the internal &PL_sv_yes ?

On a side note: shouldn't it be possible to activate true and false while silencing the warnings with just one pragma?

  
use experimental qw/builtin/;
use builtin qw/true false/;
use Data::Dump;

ddx $];
dd [true,false]

__END__
# bool.pl:6: "5.036000"
[1, ""]
