>I'd say issue a deprecation warning once we have a schedule were the feature is removed, and replaced by something else. I think in the case of barewords the replacement feature has been present in Perl for a while... Instead of print hello; you should, in the new way of doing things, write print 'hello'; >Deprecation does not mean "I don't like the style, so other shall not use it". Indeed not. It may however be a case of: nobody whatsoever uses this style, and so it is not doing any good to keep it (while it does cruft up the language somewhat). Hence this request. To reiterate: I am *asking* whether anybody uses barewords. If they are still used, then close this bug and keep them. --- via perlbug: queue: perl5 status: open https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=126715Thread Previous | Thread Next
