Hi Dean Thanks for the reply. We do just have a chance to get it into the final stretch point release and we do have other changes queued for perl now. You implied in an earlier message that you'd been running a patched Debian package with https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/16086 - can I check this is (still) the case? It'd give us a lot more confidence to know that the combination we'd plan to release has been battle tested. It's up to the stable release managers of course - I will email now. Cheers Dominic
