I don't see why it can't be everywhere. A perl new enough to have svtype() would be new enough in which no/yes are true booleans and not PVIVs-in-disguise. The feature guard is really just to guard the `true` and `false` keyword syntax, rather than the underlying semantics of the boolean type. -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leonerd@leonerd.org.uk | https://metacpan.org/author/PEVANS http://www.leonerd.org.uk/ | https://www.tindie.com/stores/leonerd/Thread Previous | Thread Next
