Re: "use 5.10.0" creates weird syntax error on sub named "default"

Just FYI and not really apropos of much, ::default() works as well and avoids possible &-ish complications:

>perl -wMstrict -le
"use 5.10.0;
 ::default();
 sub default { print 'works' }
 given ('x') {
   when ('y') { print 'y'       }
   default    { print 'default' }
   }
"
works
default

`::default()` only works well if you've declared `default()` in `main`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
