Internals::hv_clear_placeholders should not have been removed without a good solution for "make this thing readonly". Moving it to Hash::Util is silly, the darn thing shouldn't be necessary in the first place. IMNSHO it's the wrong solution to the problem of exposing this function via Internals. But to answer your question, it will be fixed before 5.26, but open question is how we will to that. LeonThread Previous
