=head1 NAME

feature - Perl pragma to enable new syntactic features

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use feature qw(switch say);
    given ($foo) {
	when (1)	  { say "\$foo == 1" }
	when ([2,3])	  { say "\$foo == 2 || \$foo == 3" }
	when (/^a[bc]d$/) { say "\$foo eq 'abd' || \$foo eq 'acd'" }
	when ($_ > 100)   { say "\$foo > 100" }
	default		  { say "None of the above" }
    }

    use feature ':5.10'; # loads all features available in perl 5.10

=head1 DESCRIPTION

It is usually impossible to add new syntax to Perl without breaking
some existing programs. This pragma provides a way to minimize that
risk. New syntactic constructs can be enabled by C<use feature 'foo'>,
and will be parsed only when the appropriate feature pragma is in
scope.

=head2 Lexical effect

Like other pragmas (C<use strict>, for example), features have a lexical
effect. C<use feature qw(foo)> will only make the feature "foo" available
from that point to the end of the enclosing block.

    {
        use feature 'say';
        say "say is available here";
    }
    print "But not here.\n";

=head2 C<no feature>

Features can also be turned off by using C<no feature "foo">. This too
has lexical effect.

    use feature 'say';
    say "say is available here";
    {
        no feature 'say';
        print "But not here.\n";
    }
    say "Yet it is here.";

C<no feature> with no features specified will turn off all features.

=head2 The 'switch' feature

C<use feature 'switch'> tells the compiler to enable the Perl 6
given/when construct.

See L<perlsyn/"Switch statements"> for details.

=head2 The 'say' feature

C<use feature 'say'> tells the compiler to enable the Perl 6
C<say> function.

See L<perlfunc/say> for details.

=head2 the 'state' feature

C<use feature 'state'> tells the compiler to enable C<state>
variables.

See L<perlsub/"Persistent Private Variables"> for details.

=head1 FEATURE BUNDLES

It's possible to load a whole slew of features in one go, using
a I<feature bundle>. The name of a feature bundle is prefixed with
a colon, to distinguish it from an actual feature. At present, the
only feature bundles are C<use feature ":5.10"> and C<use feature ":5.10.0">,
which both are equivalent to C<use feature qw(switch say state)>.

In the forthcoming 5.10.X perl releases, C<use feature ":5.10"> will be
equivalent to the latest C<use feature ":5.10.X">.

=head1 IMPLICIT LOADING

There are two ways to load the C<feature> pragma implicitly :

=over 4

=item *

By using the C<-E> switch on the command-line instead of C<-e>. It enables
all available features in the main compilation unit (that is, the one-liner.)

=item *

By requiring explicitly a minimal Perl version number for your program, with
the C<use VERSION> construct, and when the version is higher than or equal to
5.10.0. That is,

    use 5.10.0;

will do an implicit

    use feature ':5.10.0';

and so on.

But to avoid portability warnings (see L<perlfunc/use>), you may prefer:

    use 5.010;

with the same effect.
