I don't believe this belongs in 5.38 at this stage, it may change the behaviour of working code. |

@tonycoz, do you still want to pursue this p.r. (now that we're past 5.38.0)? If so, you will need to resolve some conflicts. Thanks. |

Rebased, waiting for review, preferably on both the behaviour and the implementation. |

Added one comment about the implementation, but I think overall the intent of the behaviour is good. It means that with that feature enabled, the behaviour of "Name->foo" is simpler to explain and reason about, because it doesn't depend on (dynamic) filehandle setup any more. |
This prevents SomeBareword from being looked up as a filehandle: no feature "bareword_filehandles"; SomeBareword->method(); Since "bareword_filehandles" is explicitly about bareword handles, it does not prevent other string to object/class look ups from resolving the class as a filehandle, eg for the following: "SomeLiteral"->method(); my $x = "SomeVariable"; $x->method(); both are looked up as file handles per normal. Note that in any of these cases, with or without the bareword_filehandles feature, if the name is a bareword that has been resolved as a class name since the last time the stash cache was cleared, it will be resolved as a class name, not a filehandle.

This prevents SomeBareword from being looked up as a filehandle:
no feature "bareword_filehandles";
SomeBareword->method();
Since "bareword_filehandles" is explicitly about bareword handles, it does not prevent other string to object/class look ups from resolving the class as a filehandle, eg for the following:
"SomeLiteral"->method();
my $x = "SomeVariable";
$x->method();
both are looked up as file handles per normal.
Note that in any of these cases, with or without the bareword_filehandles feature, if the name is a bareword that has been resolved as a class name since the last time the stash cache was cleared, it will be resolved as a class name, not a filehandle.
