Perl Steering Council

A meeting with full attendance.

• We caught up with new issues and pull requests without finding any new release blockers.
• We went over the state of the perldeprecation and perlexperiment POD pages. We found that perlexperiment does not yet reflect the change in direction regarding smartmatch. Other than that we saw nothing to do.
• We went over our options regarding readline again at length. We concluded that we are not yet sure about the big across-the-board change to I/O functions, and are definitely too far into the release cycle to undertake a fishing expedition. But we don’t want to leave this problem entirely unaddressed during this cycle, and the change proposed by Tony Cook is a strict improvement, even if only a minimal one. So we decided to ship it, possibly with a slightly different implementation that we may suggest.
