[ List each deprecation as a =head2 entry ]
+=head2 Omitting a space between regular expression and subsequent word
+
+Omitting a space between a regex pattern or pattern modifiers and the
+following word is deprecated. Deprecation for regular expression matches
+was added in Perl 5.13.2. In this release, the deprecation is extended
+to regular expression substitutions. For example,
+C<< s/foo/bar/sand $bar >> will still be parsed as
+C<< s/foo/bar/s and $bar >> but will issue a warning.
+
+=head2 Deprecation warning added for deprecated-in-core .pl libs
+
+This is a mandatory warning, not obeying -X or lexical warning bits.
+The warning is modelled on that supplied by deprecate.pm for
+deprecated-in-core .pm libraries. It points to the specific CPAN
+distribution that contains the .pl libraries. The CPAN version, of
+course, does not generate the warning. (0111154)
