Perl unexpectedly complains about the use of NE in a script that resembles this one:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Data::Dumper;
%test = ( MT => 'Montana'\, NE => 'Nebraska'\, NV => 'Nevada'\, );
print Dumper(\%test);
When this script is run or is checked with -c\, the following error message is generated:
Use of NE is deprecated at test.pl line 7.
However\, the data in the hash are correct. This problem does not occur if 'NE' is quoted.

Perl unexpectedly complains about the use of NE in a script that resembles this one:
\#\!/usr/bin/perl \-w %test = \( MT => 'Montana'\, NE => 'Nebraska'\, NV => 'Nevada'\, \); Use of NE is deprecated at test\.pl line 7\.
You'll get the same message for EQ\, LE\, GE\, LT\, and GT\, which are the string comparison operators in capital letters (except for 'cmp' which is oddly not among them).
$foo NE $bar
is "legal" Perl code\, except that -w complains that 'NE' is deprecated.
You got away with murder because the 'NE' is followed by a =>\, which quotes the preceeding string.
perl -we 'open NE\, "foo"' Use of NE is deprecated at -e line 1. Not enough arguments for open at -e line 1\, near "open NE" syntax error at -e line 1\, near "NE\," Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
perl -we 'open NE => "foo"' Precedence problem: open NE should be open(NE) at -e line 1. Use of NE is deprecated at -e line 1. Name "main::NE" used only once: possible typo at -e line 1.
Whatever the issue\, Perl allows the two-character string comparison operators to be used in lowercase and uppercase\, although uppercase ones get you whacked.
Perl unexpectedly complains about the use of NE in a script that resembles this one: %test = ( NE => 'Nebraska'\,
'NE' is a long-dead synonym for 'ne'. The warning is probably generated by the lexer as soon as the NE token is seen. It is certainly a bug that the warning is generated for a token on the left-hand side of the => operator; this might be fixable.
But I think it might be better to just eliminate support for NE entirely. Jarkko\, do you think this is the right approach? NE has been deprecated since Perl 5.000.

Looks safe to me; I don't think any current module uses NE in a way that would break if it were removed. Here's the result of
find . -type f -printf '%P\n' | \ egrep -i '\.p[hlm]$' | \ xargs grep -w NE
on my modules-unpacked directory\, the generated using the script I posted in

Uh oh! The majority of the tests you've removed from the warnings test harness are testing functionality of the pragma\, rather than the specific deprecated warnings.
