Subject: List of possible experimental features may be incomplete
In the SYNOPSIS part of http://search.cpan.org/~leont/experimental-0.016/lib/experimental.pm, we see: ##### use experimental 'lexical_subs', 'smartmatch'; ##### However, farther down in the DESCRIPTION, under "The supported features, documented further below, are:", we see a list of features from which 'lexical_subs' is absent. ##### array_base - allow the use of $[ to change the starting index of @array autoderef - allow push, each, keys, and other built-ins on references lexical_topic - allow the use of lexical $_ via "my $_" postderef - allow the use of postfix dereferencing expressions, including in interpolating strings refaliasing - allow aliasing via \$x = \$y regex_sets - allow extended bracketed character classes in regexps signatures - allow subroutine signatures (for named arguments) smartmatch - allow the use of ~~ switch - allow the use of ~~, given, and when ##### At the least, 'lexical_subs' should be added to this list. However, this raises the possibility that the list may be out-of-date with respect to the actual current experimental features in the core distribution. How should we handle this? Thank you very much. Jim Keenan

Thanks for the report. Indeed various features were missing. It should be fixed in 0.017. Leon
