Perl Steering Council

Back from holidays all three of us were in.

• We discussed the recently reported closure memory leak in 5.40, which existed in older perls and was fixed in a way that caused other breakage instead, and we agreed that if it isn’t fixable we need to address it by at least providing guidance on how to code around it
• We discussed the removal of apostrophe as a package separator, and agreed that it should likely be feature-guarded, but the verdict on the fallout is not yet in
• We continued the discussion on how to simultaneously encourage low ecosystem churn while helping users enjoy all the latest goodies
• We agreed on writing a few position paper articles to explain our thinking and the attitude we think a PSC should take
