Perl Steering Council

Another extended meeting, which everyone attended. Here’s a summary:

• We want to get actual implementation of TLS in core underway. Paul volunteered for some of it. We’ll email our plan to p5p, to get things started.
• We talked about undef-aware equality operators. While the flags idea is tempting, we don’t think that there are enough useful flags to go down this route (what’s the use of stacking flags, if you only have one). If equ and === are added to Perl, we think the negative versions (neu and !==) should be added as well.
• We had a quick version discussion. The document is almost ready.
• We want to poke the PPC implementors again, to make sure we can have some of them available in the next version of Perl.
