CPAN distributions broken by switch removal

[jkeenan]

In this ticket we'll log reports of CPAN distributions failing to build or test due to the recent switch removal. Note that as the removal took place over a number of commits, the exact breaking commit may differ from distro to distro.

Scope-Upper: Note that this is a build-time failure.

Upstream bug report:
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=148905

Fixed 8/20/2024 with CPAN release 0.003009.

[haarg]

I've finally gotten around to releasing a new Syntax::Keyword::Junction that fixes the smartmatch usage.

[jkeenan]

Dist-Maker: As reported in #22673.

Type-Tiny: test failures Sample report: http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/aed9a526-5cd6-11ef-9744-b7cb12358fd8 Excerpt of failure output:

These were fixed with the release of a new version of Type-Tiny in late September.

[haarg]

smartmatch was brought back, and all of the dists mentioned in this issue are now working (aside from Type::Tiny, but that is a problem with MooseX::Types).
