Package: libmodern-perl-perl (1.20200211-1)

module for enabling all of the features of Modern Perl

Modern Perl programs use several modules to enable additional features of Perl and of the CPAN. Instead of copying and pasting all of these 'use' lines, instead write only one:

   use Modern::Perl;

This enables the strict and warnings pragmas, as well as all of the features available since Perl 5.10.

For enabling features of newer Perl releases, a year can be specified as an import tag, e.g.:

   use Modern::Perl '2017';

enables 5.24 features. Cf. Modern::Perl(3pm) for details.
