I don't understand why smartmatch and given would be marked experimental in 5.18 when they've been around since 5.10 2013/5/25 Andreas Koenig via RT <bug-Mojito@rt.cpan.org>: Show quoted text

OK, so I see in the Perl 5.18 delta that these features have been regressed to experimental, but what I don't understand is that there should just a warning not a failure. I'm not convinced Mojito has a bug at this point so I'm closing this ticket.

Mojito does have a bug - it is not ready to handle the new working. You are using Moioi, which uses strictures, which in turn fatalizes any perl-core warning. So what is just a warning for most, is a fatal exception for you. Please consider reopening and fixing the cause of this ticket - there is no practical way Mojito will function under 5.18+ without changes.

Ok... wtf. I have some odd spellchecker interaction here... What was said: "...does not support the new wording. You are using Moo, which..."

Thanks for the explanation Riba, yeah strictures is doing its fatal => 'ALL' thing. I've suppressed the smartmatch warning in Mojito v0.22
