Changes for version 0.08 - 2026-10-21
- Fix: require Module::CoreList 3.07; on perls <= 5.16 the core-shipped version has no is_core() and slimpack died with "Undefined subroutine".
- Fix: names referenced from non-interpolating strings (q[...], '...', <<'EOT') are no longer renamed — such strings can be string-eval'd at runtime. Bundling Moo broke on perl < 5.22 (Sub::Defer builds deferred subs from a q[...] template naming its lexicals, a sub and its package).
- Fix: keep the space in `$x && Foo::Bar->baz` and `$n - word(...)`; removing it warns on perl <= 5.18 ("Operator or semicolon missing") or turns `- e(...)` into a filetest.
- Fix: -e/-E bundles failed on perl < 5.16 (no ':all' feature bundle there; those perls now get ':5.10').
