This is a bug report for perl from davidnico@cpan.org,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.35 running under perl v5.8.5.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

That without explicit quotes around the here-string terminator,
double-quote qq style interpolation occurs, is a very  useful feature,
yet this feature is listed among things that are deprecated.

Please undeprecate this useful feature.
