This ticket has been overtaken by events. It asked that a regression that was fixed in 5.20 be fixed in a 5.18 maintenance release, even though it wasn't discovered until 5.18 was out of maintenance. That didn't happen because the fixing commit was quite complicated. Now that 5.18 is even further past being maintained, there is not going to be a 5.18 maintenance release, so I'm closing this ticket -- Karl Williamson --- via perlbug: queue: perl5 status: open https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=125491
