X<$[>
As of release 5 of Perl, assignment to C<$[> is treated as a compiler
directive, and cannot influence the behavior of any other file.
-(That's why you can only assign compile-time constants to it.)
-Its use is highly discouraged.
+(That's why you can only assign compile-time constants to it.) Its

Note that, unlike other compile-time directives (such as L<strict>),
assignment to C<$[> can be seen from outer lexical scopes in the same file.

Some bits may be relevant at compile-time only, some at
