Subject: smartmatch changes in Perl 5.27.7
Date: Sun, 17 Dec 2017 11:28:16 +0000
To: bug-experimental [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Zefram <zefram [...] fysh.org>
Smartmatch has changed substantially in bleadperl. This breaks some parts of the experimental distro, which therefore need an update. Blead's bundled copy of experimental has been customised to take account of the core changes. One hunk of the customisation is appropriate for both old and new Perls, but the other part is only fit for new Perls. -zefram
Subject: Re: [rt.cpan.org #123899] smartmatch changes in Perl 5.27.7
Date: Fri, 29 Dec 2017 16:46:26 +0000
To: Bugs in experimental via RT <bug-experimental [...] 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 copy of the experimental distro in blead remains customised. The customisation has been altered to make it fully portable between the two versions of smartmatch. I recommend that some version of the core's customisation should be incorporated into the upstream experimental, to make it portable to all relevant perls. -zefram
