NAME
       deprecate - Perl pragma for deprecating the core version of a module


SYNOPSIS
           use deprecate;  # always deprecate the module in which this occurs

           use if $] > 5.010, 'deprecate'; # conditionally deprecate the module


DESCRIPTION
       This module is used using "use deprecate;" (or something that calls "deprecate->import()", for example
       "use if COND, deprecate;").

       If the module that includes "use deprecate" is located in a core library directory, a deprecation warning
       is issued, encouraging the user to use the version on CPAN.  If that module is located in a site library,
       it is the CPAN version, and no warning is issued.

   EXPORT
       None by default.  The only method is "import", called by "use deprecate;".


SEE ALSO
       First example to "use deprecate;" was Switch.
