PSC #065 2022-04-13

Paul, Rik, and Neil present

We went through a bunch of things related to 5.36.0.

bareword_filehandles is going back into the version bundle.

There are two BBC issues related to AlmaLinux. The first one[1] was waiting for a fix[2], which has now been merged, and has been closed. The second issue[3] needs a fix on Compress::Raw::Zlib; a new version has been released, and there's a PR waiting to be merged, which updates blead[4].

Given the problem with bareword_filehandles, we wondered whether we should also put indirect back, if it hasn't been suitably tested. Rik has emailed p5p separately about this already.

Paul has submitted a PR to remove the taint question in Configure, that was added in 5.35.11. Neil to review it, so that it's removed before RC0.
