Off the top of my head this means our(), warnings.pm and 3 arg open are now
fair game.  qr// is not as buggy.  glob() is safer to use.  Tied handles are
less buggy.  5.6 can reliably emulate 2>&1.  And a whole slew of bug work
arounds are unnecessary.

That's my experience from Test::More and MakeMaker.
