Perl and perl modules

++++++++++ Note: We are going to change the version format of the modules. See https://github.com/openSUSE/cpanspec/issues/47 for context ++++++++++ ++++++++++ Note 2: Packages are maintained under git as of 2025-08-13: https://src.opensuse.org/perl https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:OBS_to_Git ++++++++++ Perl and a large number of important perl modules and tools. Module updates from CPAN are regularly checked (with scripts from https://github.com/openSUSE/autoupdate-perl and https://github.com/openSUSE/cpanspec ) and put into https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/devel:languages:perl:autoupdate . Please check https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/devel:languages:perl:autoupdate first before doing your own update! An updated version of the module might already be there, just that there is no submit request yet. How to submit a new module here: https://github.com/openSUSE/cpanspec/wiki/Submit-a-new-Perl-module-to-openSUSE https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/perl/16.0/ openSUSE:Leap:16.0

Lexically disable autovivification

When an undefined variable is dereferenced, it gets silently upgraded to an array or hash reference (depending of the type of the dereferencing). This behaviour is called _autovivification_ and usually does what you mean (e.g. when you store a value) but it may be unnatural or surprising because your variables gets populated behind your back. This is especially true when several levels of dereferencing are involved, in which case all levels are vivified up to the last, or when it happens in intuitively read-only constructs like 'exists'. This pragma lets you disable autovivification for some constructs and optionally throws a warning or an error when it would have happened.
