There's some legacy syntax still used in some very old code bases, e.g. TheSchwartz my TheSchwartz::Job $job = shift; As far as I can tell, this doesn't do anything except require that TheSchwartz::Job namespace exists. It doesn't require $job to be a TheSchwartz::Job. I have some questions: 1. Is this documented anywhere still? 2. Is the syntax deprecated? 3. if not, are there plans to do something useful with it, e.g. enforce type constraints?Thread Next
