This package fails to build with Perl 5.24 (currently in experimental.)
Can't use global $_ in "my" at t/01basic.t line 12, near "my $_ "
Can't use global $_ in "my" at t/01basic.t line 23, near "my $_ "
Can't use global $_ in "my" at t/01basic.t line 28, near "my $_ "
Execution of t/01basic.t aborted due to compilation errors.
# Looks like your test exited with 255 before it could output anything.
Quoting perldelta.pod:
Lexical $_ has been removed
"my $_" was introduced in Perl 5.10, and subsequently caused
much confusion with no obvious solution. In Perl 5.18.0, it was
made experimental on the theory that it would either be removed or
redesigned in a less confusing (but backward-incompatible) way. Over
the following years, no alternatives were proposed. The feature has
now been removed and will fail to compile.
