=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 bundle is C<use feature ":5.10"> which is equivalent
to C<use feature qw(switch say state)>.
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.
=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';
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:
use 5.010;
with the same effect.
