Re: Trying to make perl suck less again

how about:

BEGIN {
   if ( $] < 5.010000 ) {
      # also set some bool var like $NEW_PERL
      $INC{'feature.pm'} = 1;
      package feature;
   }
}

use feature ':5.10';

Is there room for a backported feature.pm on the CPAN then?	[reply]

Probably as dummy module like warnings::compat for warnings.	[reply]

warnings::compat is somewhat straightforward. I didn't play with 5.10 much and not sure how much of the "feature" interface can be emulated. Making this a CPAN distro will be resulted with high expectations IMHO, since pre-5.10 usage is (and will be) much more than pre-5.6. I think I've discussed a possible utf8 emulation with saper before (don't remember the details) but this was not practical too. However, adding workarounds in the code is much easier than preparing a CPAN release I believe :)	[reply]
