Perl Steering Council

This week we:

• Worked out final resolving actions for security issues.
• Discussed recent mailing-list posts about making method non-public by default. This probably won’t work but we could open a PPC discussion on my method + $obj->&method syntax.
• Reviewed Projects in Flight - posted below
• Merged the PR for PPC 0022 (Metaprogramming API). Discussions on individual points can be made using GH Issues
