What is libmodern-perl-perl
libmodern-perl-perl is:
Modern Perl programs use 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 Modern::Perl;
This enables the strict and warnings pragmas, as well as all of the features available since Perl 5.10.
For enabling features of newer Perl releases, a year can be specified as an import tag, e.g.:
use Modern::Perl '2017';
enables 5.24 features. Cf. Modern::Perl(3pm) for details.
