Subject: smartmatch changes in Perl 5.27.7
Date: Sun, 17 Dec 2017 11:21:51 +0000
To: bug-autodie [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Zefram <zefram [...] fysh.org>
Smartmatch has changed substantially in bleadperl. This breaks some parts of the autodie distro, which therefore need an update. There are two main changes affecting autodie. The first is that smartmatch overloading now only takes effect on the rhs. The second is that things other than smartmatch-overloaded object references are not valid on the rhs of smartmatch. The first core release with these changes will be Perl 5.27.7, due on 2017-12-20. Blead's bundled copy of autodie has been customised to take account of the core changes. The customised version of autodie should be appropriate for both old and new Perls, though this hasn't been tested. You should find the customisations to be a decent basis for your canonical update. -zefram

Subject: Re: [rt.cpan.org #123898] smartmatch changes in Perl 5.27.7
Date: Fri, 29 Dec 2017 16:43:14 +0000
To: Bugs in autodie via RT <bug-autodie [...] rt.cpan.org>
From: Zefram <zefram [...] fysh.org>
The core smartmatch changes in 5.27.7 have been reverted in blead because of CPAN breakage. Changes along these lines are still likely to be made in the future, but preceded by a deprecation process. The core still has a customised autodie, on the basis that the customisation future-proofs the module. I still recommend that the upstream autodie should incorporate these or similar changes, to allow for the likely future changes to smartmatch. I've tweaked the customised documentation in blead to avoid making now-inaccurate statements about the core changes being current. -zefram

To my knowledge, blead matches or will in a day or so what is on CPAN. I'm going to close this for now.
