perl 5.24.0 blockers

Let's get back to reviewing blockers. I'm looking forward to landing this
plane!
PREVIOUS BLOCKER COUNT: 13
CURRENT BLOCKER COUNT: 16 (but some are probably not blockers)
* remove encoding.pm
https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=123945
We wanted to remove this from core. We haven't yet. We should do this
immediately.
* BBC: Lexical-SealRequireHints
https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=126484
This is a pretty big deal. There are a bunch of downstream deps, as seen
here:
http://deps.cpantesters.org/depended-on-by.pl?dist=Lexical-SealRequireHints-0.009
* the pesky \N{...}
https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=123417
This all is fixed, I think, except for taking Karl's final suggested action
of deprecating empty \N{}. Right?
* changes to infinite recursion in regex
https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=126182
I believe this is no longer a blocker, as of
401a80220e9b38609f41611345e25c9956fd7157. Right?
* dtrace/-DDEBUGGING builds now fail on Solaris
https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127543
I have no intel on this.
* memory leaks in make test
https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127657
This isn't exactly a blocker, but Karl hopes we'll have a look at this before
5.24.
* core dump in call_sv under threads
https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127708
This is a quite new one. Not much info yet. Not a regression from 5.22 (it
seems) but from 5.20. No bisect.
* BBC: Unicode::Unihan
https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127713
Recent report, bisected to a recent change.
* BBC: Scalar::List::Utils (!)
https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127603
Paul, looks like you have a PR to merge? :)
* BBC: Net::Yadis
https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127638
Looks like we can supply a patch to XML::XPath::Node::Element and/or
Net::Yadis, or the idea for a patch. I'll just add ot the Net::Yadis ticket
a pointer back to the perl ticket.
* BBC: App::assh
https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=124430
This no longer seems to be broken. Agreed?
* BBC: IPC::Run on Win32
https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=125303
No news in months.
* BBC: perl5i
https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=126545
https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=126162
There's a patch. I have not reviewed this.
* BBC: Test-MemoryGrowth
https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127054
Karl guesses this is a bug in the test. Paul?
* BBC: App-JobLog
https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127231
More interesting to me: very recently, still a report that List::MoreUtils is
broken in blead. I thought that had been fixed...
Not sure about this ticket yet.
* BBC: Algorithm-Permute
https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127475
Current thinking seems to be, "this module was too chummy with the guts and
needs to be updated for new context stack, but is also probably
unmaintained."
