Perl Steering Council

All three of us attended.

• We discussed the situation with readline and the filehandle error flag once again, starting over by revisiting the basic premise of the error flag. We think we now have a better understanding the overall situation, and this led us to a different approach about how to correct the overall situation, which we will outline as a proposal soon.
• We have been wanting to revert #22465 but wanted to include a testcase that demonstrates why, which we hadn’t gotten to. In order to get this into the looming final dev release, we talked through what the testcase needs to look like, and will submit a pull request ASAP.
• We caught up on new issues and pull requests for release blocker triage. We then reviewed the state of our current release blockers, some of which have been resolved, and one of which (#23026) we demoted based on our new understanding about the readline situation.
