NAME

nextgen - enable all of the features of next-generation perl 5 with one command

VERSION

Version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

The nextgen pragma uses 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 nextgen;

For now, this module

asserts 5.10.1+ is loaded -- 5.10.0 is unsupported and not forwards compatable because of smart match.

uses the vanilla strict, and warnings pragmas

adds Perl 5.10 features

disables indirect method syntax via indirect

throws fatal exceptions in a sane fashion for CORE functions via autodie

C3 method resolution order via mro

adds Moose if the package isn't main

uses oose.pm if the program is run via perl -e, or perl -E

cleans up the class via namespace::autoclean if the module has a constructor (sub new).

In the future, nextgen will include additional CPAN modules which have proven useful and stable.

This module started out as a fork of Modern::Perl, it wasn't modern enough and the author wasn't attentive enough to the needs for a more modern perl5.
