# - think about versioned features (use feature switch => 2)
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)>.
+only feature bundle is C<use feature ":5.10"> which is 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">.
+Specifying sub-versions such as the C<0> in C<5.10.0> in feature bundles has
+no effect: feature bundles are guaranteed to be the same for all sub-versions.

will do an implicit
- use feature ':5.10.0';
+ use feature ':5.10';
-and so on.
+and so on. Note how the trailing sub-version is automatically stripped from the
+version.
But to avoid portability warnings (see L<perlfunc/use>), you may prefer:
if (substr($name, 0, 1) eq ":") {
my $v = substr($name, 1);
if (!exists $feature_bundle{$v}) {
- unknown_feature_bundle($v);
+ $v =~ s/^([0-9]+)\.([0-9]+).[0-9]+$/$1.$2/;
+ if (!exists $feature_bundle{$v}) {
+ unknown_feature_bundle(substr($name, 1));
+ }
}
unshift @_, @{$feature_bundle{$v}};
next;
if (substr($name, 0, 1) eq ":") {
