I think so This is the perldelta for 5.18 :

 The smartmatch family of features are now experimental
    Smart match, added in v5.10.0 and significantly revised in v5.10.1, has
    been a regular point of complaint. Although there are a number of ways in
    which it is useful, it has also proven problematic and confusing for both
    users and implementors of Perl. There have been a number of proposals on
    how to best address the problem. It is clear that smartmatch is almost
    certainly either going to change or go away in the future. Relying on its
    current behavior is not recommended.

    Warnings will now be issued when the parser sees "~~", "given", or "when".
    To disable these warnings, you can add this line to the appropriate scope:

      no if $] >= 5.018, warnings => "experimental::smartmatch";

    Consider, though, replacing the use of these features, as they may change
    behavior again before becoming stable.
