+=head2 Version Strings (v-strings) Are Deprecated
+
+Version Strings (v-strings) have been deprecated. They will not be
+available after Perl 5.8. The marginal benefits of v-strings were
+greatly outweighed by the potential for Surprise and Confusion.
+
+=head2 The $* variable Is Deprecated
+
+The C<$*> variable controlling multi-line matching has been
+deprecated. It will not be available after Perl 5.8. The variable
+has been deprecated for a long time, now it will just finally be
+removed. The functionality has been supplanted by the C</s> and
+C</m> modifiers on pattern matching.

=head1 Modules and Pragmata
