Given that I attempt to write all of my code to 5.8 compatibility

I never use feature, but I can't live without defined-Or (//), so 5.10 is a prerequisite for anything I right. There was a defined-or patch for 5.8 for anyone still stuck there.

    If there was one feature from 5.10 that I'd use that tipped me over the edge to comply with 5.10+ in my code, it'd be defined-or.

    In fact, at least two of my distributions that I've had to bump up to 5.10 from 5.8 was due to defined-or being used in a required non-core module.
