Log Message:
-----------
update documentation of use VERSION to match current behavior
Perl now deprecates using use VERSION multiple times in the same scope
with different versions. From v5.39, it is fatal. Update the
documentation to reflect that.
'use VERSION' would also never disable strict, with or without a
previously set 'use strict'. This was previously implied by the
Also the previously deprecated case of downgrading the requested version
It is now fatal to request a version lower than 5.11 after requesting a
version greater than 5.11. This means that a use VERSION will never
disable strict. So while internally, an explicit use strict is still
tracked as distinct from strict from a use VERSION, this will have no
impact. Remove the mention of use strict overriding a later use VERSION.
