To me, that feels a lot like what we've already been doing. The difference is that this would be only true under a version stricture: "If you say C<use v5.16>, then if your code compiled under v5.16, it will continue to compile under any subsequent Perl." That doesn't make any behavior guarantees and thus I suspect the number/magnitude of exceptions will be fewer/less. -- DavidThread Previous | Thread Next
