NAME

Featured - Use featured keywords on older Perls

VERSION

version 0.000002

SYNOPSIS

    require 5.006;

    use Featured 'say';
    say 'hi';

DESCRIPTION

Enables the use of features from newer Perl's, without actually needing that version of Perl.

Tries to enable the features through feature first, if it's available.

FEATURES

say

A minimal re-implementation of say from Perl v5.10 for older versions of Perl.

On Perl versions that natively support say, it enables the native version instead.

say_io expiremental

This exists since this implementation of say doesn't support writing to handles other than the currently selected one.

    use Featured 'say_io';
    open my $fh, '>', 'example.txt';
    say_io $fh, 'hello';
