+ perlvar $1 clarification
+
+ $1 is currently documented as being set by the "last pattern match".
+ But it is left alone by unsuccessful pattern match attempts (continuing
+ to hold a value from an earlier successful match).
+
+ Saying "last successful pattern match" clarifies this; it's also the
+ phrase used to document $&.
+
+ Second, the entry for $1 in perlvar doesn't actually contain the text
+ "$1" anywhere. As such, doing man perlvar then using /\$1 to search for
+ it in less doesn't locate it (though does match other places in that
+ file where $1 happens to be used).

+
+ =item *
+
+ Replace Perl_deprecate() with a macro that calls Perl_ck_warner()
+ Perl_deprecate was not part of the public API, and did not have a deprecate()
+ shortcut macro defined without -DPERL_CORE. Neither codesearch.google.com nor
+ CPAN::Unpack show any users outside the core.
+

+ =item *
+ Remove category 'syntax' from 5 warnings that should just be in 'deprecated'.

+
+ MakeMaker::Test::Utils::perl_lib now copes with relative paths for core testing.
+
+ In the core, @INC already contains the moral equivalent of blib/lib. However,
+ it's a relative path (by default), so make it absolute. It's easier to KISS if
+ this is done *before* any change of directory, so document this, and change the
+ non-core case to add the absolute path of 'blib/lib' to @INC, rather than the
+ absolute path of '../blib/lib'.

+
+ Add 'package NAME VERSION' syntax
+
+ This patch adds support for setting the $VERSION of a namespace
+ when the namespace is declared with 'package'. It eliminates the
+ need for 'our $VERSION = ...' and similar constructs. E.g.
+
+ package Foo::Bar 1.23;
+ # $Foo::Bar::VERSION == 1.23
+
+ There are several advantages to this:
+
+ * VERSION is parsed in *exactly* the same way as 'use NAME VERSION'
+
+ * $VERSION is set at compile time
+
+ * Eliminates '$VERSION = ...' and 'eval $VERSION' clutter
+
+ * As it requires VERSION to be a numeric literal or v-string
+ literal, it can be statically parsed by toolchain modules
+ without 'eval' the way MM->parse_version does for '$VERSION = ...'
+
+ * Alpha versions with underscores do not need to be quoted; static
+ parsing will preserve the underscore, but during compilation, Perl
+ will remove underscores as it does for all numeric literals
+
+ During development of this, there was discussion on #corehackers and
+ elsewhere that this should also allow other metadata to be set such as
+ "status" (stable/alpha) or "author/authority". On reflection, those
+ metadata are not very well defined yet and likely should never be
+ encoded into Perl core parsing so they can be freely changed in the
+ future. (They could perhaps be achieved via a comment on the same line
+ as 'package NAME VERSION'.)
+
+ Version numbers, however, already have a very specific definition and
+ use defined in the core through 'use NAME VERSION'. This patch merely
+ provides appropriate symmetry for setting $VERSION with the exact same
+ parsing and semantics as 'use'.
+
+ It does not break old code with only 'package NAME', but code that
+ uses 'package NAME VERSION' will need to be restricted to perl 5.11.X.
+ This is analogous to the change to open() from two-args to three-args.
+ Users requiring the latest Perl will benefit, and perhaps N years from
+ now it will become standard practice when Perl 5.12 is targeted the
+ way that 5.6 is today.
+
+ The patch does not prevent 'package NAME VERSION' from being used
+ multiple times for the same package with different version numbers, but
+ nothing prevents $VERSION from being modified arbitrarily at runtime,
+ either, so I see no urgen reason to add limitations or warnings so
+ long as Perl uses a global $VERSION variable for package version
+ numbers.
+
+ I am posting this patch to the p5p list for discussion and review. If
+ there seems to be general assent (or lack of dissent), I will go ahead
+ and commit the patch to blead.
