Local Packages

  • Updated perl-PPIx-Regexp to 0.052:

    • Clarify Node->find_parents() documentation (CPAN RT#122715)

    • Further deprecate tokenizer method prior() in favour of prior_significant_token()

    • Add requirements_for_perl()

      • This is analogous to the CPAN::Meta::Requirements method requirements_for_module(), though the output is formatted differently

      • Also put in the actual requirements for an un-escaped literal left curly after a constant, which was removed in 5.25.1 and reinstated in 5.27.1

    • Add accepts_perl()

      • This is analogous to CPAN::Meta::Requirements->accepts_module()

      • I decided that CPAN::Meta::Requirements was overkill, but this may turn out to be the wrong decision, so I will be careful what I expose

    • Document behaviour of perl_version_introduced() and perl_version_removed() when a feature is re-introduced after removal, or re-removed after re-introduction

    • \N{} (empty curlys) removed in 5.27.1
