All three of us met.
dist/ dirs. Paul will write an email requesting assistance on that subject specificallymeta module handling signatures with named parameters. Further discussion will continue on the email thread.Just Paul and Leon this week. We discussed:
signature_named_parameters experiment needs adding to perlexperiment.pod, and experimental.pm. Hopefully before 5.43.5 release on Thursdayexperimental dist would be easier to manage if it lived in dist/, but it would also be nice if we had more automated tooling to create real CPAN distribution tarballs out of those directories. Would help for making Module-Corelist updates every month as well.Just Paul and Aristotle again.
We discussed the unlimited statement modifier chaining proposal. Both of us thought that unlimited chaining is a bad idea, though we agreed that being able to combine one loop and one conditional would on rare occasions make things slightly nicer. However we also agreed that in terms of conceptual complexity, only either allowing arbitrary chaining or disallowing chaining entirely is justifiable, as opposed to specifying and implementing rules to permit it but only in certain specific cases, especially considering the marginal benefit. So we settled on agreeing with Larry’s original design decision to disallow them.
