Today ether requested that I test Catalyst::Runtime against Perl 5
blead. I did so using 'cpanm'. Installation failed due to a failure in
prerequisite Getopt::Long::Descriptive, for which I filed a pull request
(https://github.com/rjbs/Getopt-Long-Descriptive/pull/25).
So far, so good. But then I looked at the error message I was getting
and found something puzzling. The error message starts out "Unescaped
left brace in regex is deprecated here" -- a message we're very familiar
with from the last dev cycle. But then it goes on to say, "and will be
fatal in Perl 5.32".

What's puzzling is that this usage is documented to become fatal in Perl
*5.30* -- not 5.32. I couldn't find any place in the source code where
5.32 was associated with this deprecation.
I was so puzzled that I installed a later blead -- only to get the same
result! Does anyone know what is going on here?
Thank you very much.
