Instead of the single +non-graphic control character, a two character sequence beginning with a +caret is used, like C<$^]> and C<${^GLOBAL_PHASE}>. Details are at +L<perlvar>. It remains legal, though unwise and deprecated (raising a +deprecation warning), to use certain non-graphic non-ASCII characters in +variables names when not under S<C<use utf8>>.

See +L<perlrecharclass/Extended Bracketed Character Classes>. + +=head1 Deprecations -XXX Changes which enhance performance without changing behaviour go here. -There may well be none in a stable release. +=head2 Using code points above the platform's C<IV_MAX> is now deprecated + +Unicode defines code points in the range C<0..0x10FFFF>. Some standards +at one time defined them up to 2**31 - 1, but Perl has allowed them to +be as high as anything that will fit in a word on the platform being +used. However, use of those above the platform's C<IV_MAX> is broken in +some constructs, notably C<tr///>, regular expression patterns involving +quantifiers, and in some arithmetic and comparison operations, such as +being the upper limit of a loop. Now the use of such code points raises +a deprecation warning, unless that warning category is turned off. +C<IV_MAX> is typically 2**31 -1 on 32-bit platforms, and 2**63-1 on +64-bit ones. + +=head2 Doing bitwise operations on strings containing code points above +0xFF is deprecated + +The string bitwise operators treat their operands as strings of bytes, +and values beyond 0xFF are nonsensical in this context.
