Now they will be ignored.

It operates +as if C</x> is always enabled. But there was a difference, comment +lines (following a C<#> character) were terminated by anything matching +C<\R> which includes all vertical whitespace, such as form feeds. For +consistency, this is now changed to match what terminates comment lines +outside S<C<(?[ ])>>, namely a C<\n> (even if escaped), which is the +same as what terminates a heredoc string and formats. + +=head2 C<(?[...])> operators now follow standard Perl precedence + +This experimental feature allows set operations in regular expression patterns. +Prior to this, the intersection operator had the same precedence as the other +binary operators. Now it has higher precedence. This could lead to different +outcomes than existing code expects (though the documentation has always noted +that this change might happen, recommending fully parenthesizing the +expressions).

This will enable programs +that are set up to be locale-aware to properly output messages in the +user's native language. Code that needs to continue the 5.20 and +earlier behavior can do the stringification within the scopes of both +'use bytes' and 'use locale ":messages". No other Perl operations will +be affected by locale; only C<$!> and C<$^E> stringification. The +'bytes' pragma causes the UTF-8 flag to not be set, just as in previous +Perl releases. This resolves [perl #112208]. + +=head2 Support for C<?PATTERN?> without explicit operator has been removed + +Starting regular expressions matching only once directly with the +question mark delimiter is now a syntax error, so that the question mark +can be available for use in new operators. Write C<m?PATTERN?> instead, +explicitly using the C<m> operator: the question mark delimiter still +invokes match-once behaviour. + +=head2 C<defined(@array)> and C<defined(%hash)> are now fatal errors + +These have been deprecated since v5.6.1 and have raised deprecation +warnings since v5.16. + +=head2 Using a hash or an array as a reference are now fatal errors. + +For example, C<%foo-E<gt>{"bar"}> now causes a fatal compilation +error. These have been deprecated since before v5.8, and have raised +deprecation warnings since then. + +=head2 Changes to the C<*> prototype + +The C<*> character in a subroutine's prototype used to allow barewords to take +precedence over most, but not all subroutines. It was never consistent and +exhibited buggy behaviour. + +Now it has been changed, so subroutines always take precedence over barewords, +which brings it into conformity with similarly prototyped built-in functions: + + sub splat(*) { ... } + sub foo { ... } + splat(foo); # now always splat(foo()) + splat(bar); # still splat('bar') as before + close(foo); # close(foo()) + close(bar); # close('bar') =head1 Deprecations -XXX Any deprecated features, syntax, modules etc. should be listed here. +=head2 Setting C<${^ENCODING}> to anything but C<undef> -=head2 Module removals +This variable allows Perl scripts to be written in a non-ASCII, +non-UTF-8 encoding. However, it affects all modules globally, leading +to wrong answers and segmentation faults. New scripts should be written +in UTF-8; old scripts should be converted to UTF-8, which is easily done +with the L<encoding> pragma. -XXX Remove this section if inapplicable. +=head2 C<< /\C/ >> character class -The following modules will be removed from the core distribution in a -future release, and will at that time need to be installed from CPAN. -Distributions on CPAN which require these modules will need to list them as -prerequisites. +This character class, which matches a single byte, even if it appears +in a multi-byte character has been deprecated.

To silence these deprecation warnings, -install the modules in question from CPAN. +=head2 Use of non-graphic characters in single-character variable names -Note that these are (with rare exceptions) fine modules that you are encouraged -to continue to use. Their disinclusion from core primarily hinges on their -necessity to bootstrapping a fully functional, CPAN-capable Perl installation, -not usually on concerns over their design. +The syntax for single-character variable names is more lenient than +for longer variable names, allowing the one-character name to be a +punctuation character or even invisible (a non-graphic).

Now, all +non-graphic characters that formerly were allowed are deprecated. +The practical effect of this occurs only when not under C<S<"use +utf8">>, and affects just the C1 controls (code points 0x80 through +0xFF), NO-BREAK SPACE, and SOFT HYPHEN. -=over +=head2 Inlining of C<sub () { $var }> with observable side-effects -=item XXX +In many cases Perl makes sub () { $var } into an inlinable constant +subroutine, capturing the value of $var at the time the C<sub> expression +is evaluated.
