=head1 Core Enhancements

=head2 An error is raised if an undefined subroutine is called.

If you call a undefined subroutine and it isn't defined you get an error.
B<No> attempt to use AUTOLOAD is made. The same applies of course to method
calls: if the method isn't found an error is raised.

=head2 v-strings create 'version' objects.

Use of v-string create version objects, i.e. C<v1.2.3> would be similar 
to C<version->new("v1.2.3")>. Use of numbers with multiple decimal dots (like
C<1.2.3>, thus without a 'v'), will give a compile error. There is no VSTRING type.

=head2 v-syntax must be used to do version checks

The C<VERSION> in C< use Module VERSION LIST > and C< use Module VERSION > should be v-syntax,
i.e. a 'v' followed by a digit, anything else will not be seen as a version.

=head2 Globs throw an error when stringified or numified.

There is a new function C<Symbol::glob_name($glob)> which returns the name
of the glob. Symbol::glob_name returns the name fully qualified, but without a leading '*'.
For example: C< Symbol::glob_name(*STDERR) eq "main::STDERR" >



=head1 Modules and Pragmas

=head2 Removal of the modules AutoLoader, AutoSplit, SelfLoader, Encode::Encoder, FileCache, Object::Accessor, NEXT, Shell

Most of these modules don't work without AUTOLOAD, but there should be no reason to use them.


=head2 Adjustment for removal of AUTOLOAD

Many modules have small adjust, because of the removal of AUTOLOAD. Including ExtUtils::Constant
of which ExtUtils::Constants::WriteConstants should be used with C<PROXYSUBS => 1>.
