Yes. The idea of using source filtered code in production worries me.
With source filtering in place, it's no longer obvious what the Perl
compiler has seen, and therefore you don't know what code it's actually
running.

perlbug. Modules in core should be maintained by perl5-porters, and so
bug reports should be submitted there. perlbug takes care of making a
new ticket in the main perl queue, and posting it to p5p.

There is. :)
