Bug #47239 for Perl6-Say: Perl6::Say should disable it's self on 5.10

Subject:

Perl6::Say should disable it's self on 5.10

I suggest perl6::say disable it's self when it detects 5.10 is running by refusing to export anything. Tests could possibly also run or we could disable tests.

Thanks for your report. I'm not going to attempt a fix because (as posted on perl.module-authors) Damian Conway and I have agreed that Perl6::Say -- which was only really needed in the 5.6 and 5.8 worlds and is superfluous in 5.10+ -- should be withdrawn from the active CPAN. Thank you very much. Jim Keenan

If program is written for 5.10+ only, it should not use Perl6::Say. Otherwise it should run identically on any version of Perl, so disabling Perl6::Say on 5.10+ will mean that this program would be incompatible with 5.10+. Perl6::Say could activate "feature qw/say/" on 5.10+, but this would mean slightly different behavior. -- Alexandr Ciornii, http://chorny.net
