# perl5i::latest(3pm)

Use the latest version of perl5i

## NAME

perl5i::latest - Use the latest version of perl5i

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use perl5i::latest;
```

## DESCRIPTION

Because perl5i is designed to break compatibility, you must declare which major version you're writing your code with to preserve compatibility.  If you want to be more daring, you can `"use` `perl5i::latest"` and it will load the newest major version of perl5i you have installed.

perl5i **WILL BREAK COMPATIBILITY**, believe it.  This is mostly useful for one-off scripts and one-liners and digital thrill seekers.
