I believe that PL_sv_placeholder is available for use, and won't show up on any keys %INC However, for maint I'd prefer a patch which doesn't change the semantics of (what is visible by perl in) %INC The current patch is backed out of maint (but still in blead) As maint pumpking I'd prefer not to be the one interacting with future revisions in the blead tree. I believe that there are at least 6 other people on p5p with blead commit. [I'd prefer to stay blinkered and just deal with p4 integrate commands] Nicholas Clark
