Instead of copying and pasting all of these C lines, instead write only one: use Modern::Perl; This enables the L and L pragmas, as well as all of the features available in Perl 5.10. It also enables C3 method resolution order as documented in C and loads L and L so that you may call methods on filehandles. In the future, it may include additional core modules and pragmas (but is unlikely to include non-core features). Because so much of this module's behavior uses lexically scoped pragmas, you may disable these pragmas within an inner scope with: no Modern::Perl; See L for more information, L for further discussion of Modern Perl and its implications, and L for a freely-downloadable Modern Perl tutorial. =head2 CLI Usage As of Modern::Perl 2019, you may also enable this pragma from the command line: $ perl -Modern::Perl -e 'say "Take that, awk!"' You may also enable year-specific features: $ perl -Modern::Perl=2020 -e 'say "Looking forward to Perl 5.30!"' =head2 Wrapping Modern::Perl If you want to wrap Modern::Perl in your own C method, you can do so to add additional pragmas or features, such as the use of L. Please note that, if you do so, you will I automatically enable C3 method resolution in the calling scope. This is due to how the L pragma works. In your custom C method, you will need to write code such as: mro::set_mro( scalar caller(), 'c3' ); =head2 Forward Compatibility For forward compatibility, I recommend you specify a string containing a I value as the single optional import tag. For example: use Modern::Perl '2009'; use Modern::Perl '2010'; ... both enable 5.10 features, while: use Modern::Perl '2011'; ... enables 5.12 features: use Modern::Perl '2012'; ... enables 5.14 features: use Modern::Perl '2013'; ... enables 5.16 features, and: use Modern::Perl '2014'; ... enables 5.18 features, and: use Modern::Perl '2015'; ... enables 5.20 features, and: use Modern::Perl '2016'; ... enables 5.24 features, and: use Modern::Perl '2017'; ... enables 5.24 features, and: use Modern::Perl '2018'; ... enables 5.26 features. use Modern::Perl '2019'; ... enables 5.28 features. use Modern::Perl '2020'; ... enables 5.30 features. use Modern::Perl '2021'; ... enables 5.32 features. use Modern::Perl '2022'; ... enables 5.34 features. use Modern::Perl '2023'; ... enables 5.36 features. use Modern::Perl '2024'; ... enables 5.38 features. Obviously you cannot use newer features on earlier versions. Perl will throw the appropriate exception if you try. As of Perl 5.38, you may prefer to write C, which is almost entirely equivalent to the use of this module. For the purpose of forward compatibility, this module will continue to work as expected--and will continue regular maintenance. =head1 AUTHOR chromatic, C<< >> =head1 BUGS None known. Please report any bugs or feature requests to C, or through the web interface at L. I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes. =head1 SUPPORT You can find documentation for this module with the perldoc command. perldoc Modern::Perl You can also look for information at: =over 4 =item * RT: CPAN's request tracker L =item * AnnoCPAN: Annotated CPAN documentation L =item * CPAN Ratings L =item * Search CPAN L =back =head1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Damian Conway (inspiration from L), Florian Ragwitz (L, so I didn't have to write it myself), chocolateboy (for suggesting that I don't even need L), Damien Learns Perl, David Moreno, Evan Carroll, Elliot Shank, Andreas König, Father Chrysostomos, Gryphon Shafer, and Norbert E.
