Perl Steering Council

We had a guest this week: Olaf Alders.

• We exchanged Perl (re)branding ideas with Olaf. We will be keeping in touch on that front.
• We discussed the feedback on feature-guarding and unbundling apostrophe. We came up with a strategy to propose that we think should work, which will be posted on the relevant thread.
• We discussed the fact that keeping the current smartmatch operator (as a feature) means we can’t have a meaningful air gap to prevent subtle bugs when moving to a future “good” smartmatch. This probably implies that we would be giving up on any future smart match operator, but there are usually better replacements.
