Welcome to Perl 5 Porters Weekly, a summary of the email traffic of the
perl5-porters email list. I'd hoped to get this published earlier, but
it didn't happen.
In the US, we just switched back to "standard" time on Saturday. Rah, rah
energy savings, but toddlers don't adapt well to legalistic time changes, so
I was up and at 'em at the butt crack of dawn this morning.
Enough complaining, let's get to this week's topics. I hope you wanted a
week full of discussion(?) around subroutine signatures, because that's what
we got.
- perl-5.16.2-RC1 is now available
- 5.12.5 last call for patches
- Consider Forbidding Developer Releases in Production Perls
- No-taint support in Perl
- What happened to the whole "small core" idea?
- sub signatures
- too many arguments
- function to return the signature
- too few arguments
- status - I'm going quiet for a while ...
