Re^2: A question about PERL versioning.

I see. Then why do I need to use 'use v5.14' in order for the 'say' statement to work if the base system version is already '5.14'? Thanks.

required reading: feature, use `use version` implies a certain set of use feature. Specifically, use 5.010 and better enables feature say.	[reply]

See "http://compgroups.net/comp.lang.perl.misc/why-can-t-i-use-say-with-version-5.14/2046730". I personally would prefer to have features already available without extra effort that are neither experimental nor introduced in current version. Then again this is Perl 5. `:-/`	[reply]
