=head1 NAME
perlexperiment - A listing of experimental features in Perl
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This document lists the current and past experimental features in the perl
core. Although all of these are documented with their appropriate topics,
this succinct listing gives you an overview and basic facts about their
status.
So far I've merely tried to find and list the experimental features and infer
their inception, versions, etc. There's a lot of speculation here.

=head2 Accepted features
These features were so wildly successful and played so well with others that
we decided to remove their experimental status and admit them as full, stable
features in the world of Perl, lavishing all the benefits and luxuries thereof.
They are also awarded +5 Stability and +3 Charisma.
=over 8
=item (none yet identified)
=back
=head2 Removed features
These features are no longer considered experimental and their functionality
has disappeared. It's your own fault if you wrote production programs using
these features after we explicitly told you not to (see L<perlpolicy>).
=over 8
=item C<legacy>
The experimental C<legacy> pragma was swallowed by the C<feature> pragma.
Introduced in: 5.11.2
Removed in: 5.11.3
