Core Enhancements

Using a list in scalar context will raise an error

If a list is used in scalar context an error will be raised. This can happen both at compile and run-time. Using an array in scalar context will still returns the number of elements of the array.

All variables must be declared or fully qualifyed as with use strict vars

Variables must be declared or fully qualified, like with use strict 'vars'.

eval BOCK has been renamed to try BLOCK

The expression eval BLOCK has changed to try BLOCK. eval EXPR remains the same.

Removal of the transliteration operator

The transliteration operator (tr/// or y/// has been removed.

The magic variables $&, $` and $' are removed.

The $^MATCH, $^PREMATCH, $^POSTMATCH in combination with the /p still work, and can be used instead
