that with a C<use attrs> pragma in the body of the subroutine.
That can now be accomplished with declaration syntax, like this:
- sub mymethod : locked method ;
+ sub mymethod : locked method;
...
sub mymethod : locked method {
...
}
- sub othermethod :locked :method ;
+ sub othermethod :locked :method;
...
sub othermethod :locked :method {
...
This warns you that C<"fred@example.com"> is going to turn into
C<fred.com> if you don't backslash the C<@>.
