The time has come, the walrus said, ... .. No, nothing about cabbages or kings, but to de-experimentalise a feature that's been in experimental for a while now without change. I refer of course to use feature 'isa'; I've written a PR to remove the experimental warning and add it to the :5.36 feature bundle https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/19400 This will now mean you'll be able to use v5.36; use Thing; my $thing = Thing->new; say "It's a Thing" if $thing isa Thing; As this is the first de-experimentalising we've done in a while, I'm not 100% sure that I have covered all the bases; there may still be steps I have missed. It'd be great to get some folks to review this and see if there's anything else that needs doing. ((There's probably some bits of documentation somewhere or other that can make louder mention of this operator, but I plan to address that as part of a wider task of "lets update docs examples to more modern code standard" once we hit the 5.35.9 code-freeze.)) -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leonerd@leonerd.org.uk | https://metacpan.org/author/PEVANS http://www.leonerd.org.uk/ | https://www.tindie.com/stores/leonerd/Thread Next
