Yes; that is exactly the point. We wanted it to have (what you call) the "hard stricture" behaviour in 5.36. It's just that my implementation of it was sloppy and broke the behaviour of the lower `use VERSION` requests as well. Your patch fixes the older versions, but reverts `use v5.36` back to that older behaviour. We'd prefer to keep it in its newer behaviour from 5.36 onwards. I've raised a separate PR for that, at https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/20944 Ideally it'd be good to get this in for 5.37.10 tomorrow. Hopefully, given it's mostly docs and more tests, it should be easy enough to review and folks will be happy with it? *fingers crossed*. -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leonerd@leonerd.org.uk | https://metacpan.org/author/PEVANS http://www.leonerd.org.uk/ | https://www.tindie.com/stores/leonerd/Thread Previous | Thread Next
