    In perl 5.38 (2023) smart match is deprecated. You can no longer silence
    the warning with "use experimental 'smartmatch'" and must replace the
    use of smart match with something else.

    Perl 5.42 (planned 2025) will finally remove smart match, resulting in a
    syntax error if you still use it.

    Modules

    However, if you still miss smart matching, some modules have been
    written to give you the same/similar feature.

    match::smart (by TOBYINK, first released 2013, pure-perl) gives you a
    similar behaviour to perl's own "~~". It can be used as the "|M|"
    operator or as the match() function.

    Switch::Back (by DCONWAY, first released in June 2024, pure-perl).
    Written by one of the designers of Perl 6, Switch::Back offers roughly
    the same feature set as the old "switch" and smartmatching. Although
    there's no longer "~~", just the smartmatch() function. So basically
    what match::smart offers, but 11 years later.

    match::simple (by TOBYINK which is also the author of "match::smart",
    first released in 2013, in the same distribution as "match::smart",
    available in XS as well as pure-perl) offers a simplified version of
    smart matching. It has 8 kinds of behaviors depending only on the
    /right/ hand side.

    Also see match::simple::sugar which gives you "when", "then", and
