NAME

       Modern::Perl - enable all of the features of Modern Perl with one import

VERSION

       version 1.20140107

SYNOPSIS

       Modern Perl programs use several modules to enable additional features of Perl and of the CPAN.  Instead
       of copying and pasting all of these "use" lines, instead write only one:

           use Modern::Perl;

       This enables the strict and warnings pragmas, as well as all of the features available in Perl 5.10. It
       also enables C3 method resolution order as documented in "perldoc mro" and loads IO::File and IO::Handle
       so that you may call methods on filehandles. In the future, it may include additional core modules and
       pragmas.

       Because so much of this module's behavior uses lexically scoped pragmas, you may disable these pragmas
       within an inner scope with:

           no Modern::Perl;

       See <http://www.modernperlbooks.com/mt/2009/01/toward-a-modernperl.html> for more information,
       <http://www.modernperlbooks.com/> for further discussion of Modern Perl and its implications, and
       <http://onyxneon.com/books/modern_perl/index.html> for a freely-downloadable Modern Perl tutorial.

   Forward Compatibility
       For forward compatibility, I recommend you specify a year as the single optional import tag. For example:

           use Modern::Perl '2009';
           use Modern::Perl '2010';

       ... both enable 5.10 features, while:

           use Modern::Perl '2011';

       ... enables 5.12 features:

           use Modern::Perl '2012';

       ... enables 5.14 features:

           use Modern::Perl '2013';

       ... enables 5.16 features, and:

           use Modern::Perl '2014';

       ... enables 5.18 features. Obviously you cannot use newer features on earlier versions. Perl will throw
       the appropriate exception if you try.

       By mid-2014, this module will drop support for 5.10 and 5.12 and will complain (once per process) if you
       use a year too old. As of January 2014, Perl 5.14 is unsupported by the Perl 5 Porters, so please
       consider upgrading.
