Perl Steering Council

This week we:

• Reviewed some recent email threads:
  • Returning values from require multiple times - seems not useful as compared to using do FILE or the new load_module builtin
  • CPAN.pm observed to use lots of memory, but also complicated to fix. It might benefit a new smaller simpler tool being provided by Perl core
• Perl 5.39.5 is due soon and we have release managers up to 5.39.8, but we’re still in need of folks to do up to 5.40.0
