Perl Steering Council

We were all present this week:

• We rehashed the Perl version number discussion from last meeting now that we are all present. We will put together a document with our thoughts on this.
• We will create a GitHub issue to make apostrophe removal feature-guarded.
• Smartmatch (not so surprisingly) turns out to be too big to fail. Given its unique history, we are considering options for how to proceed with it in a more gradual way without giving up on the deprecation.
• Regarding open undef (GH #22490), we agreed that Perl should support undef as a value and not just as a literal for the filename (and warn for the useless modes)
