Severity: minor
File: /usr/share/man/man1/perlop.1.gz
Hi,
the perlop man page refers to feature for enabling the ~~ feature:
This operator is only available if you enable the "~~" feature: see
feature for more information.
But feature has no information about the ~~ operator. It seems to be
available by default, but it cannot be enabled by "use feature":
$ perl -e 'print "ok" if 1 ~~ 1'
ok
$ perl -e 'use feature q(~~)'
Feature "~~" is not supported by Perl 5.10.0 at -e line 1
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.
Regards,
Ansgar
