I'm posting minutes of last night to History pages <https://boston-pm.github.io/History-04-Virtual.html#sept-9-2025-community-news-release-cves>.
- MST 42 RIP - Perl 5.042 - Modules with 'use warnings' or 'use strict' causing problems - recent Perl CVEs. *Jerrad*, re* Regexp::Trie*: - I linked the related online discussion (and reported that module as afflicted there). - See minutes for note of workaround for MOose excess warnings/strictures. - I'm now wondering if R:T would benefit from goto __SUB__; tail recursion (although to continue 5.008001 compatibility would have to be goto &funcname; ), not only to avoid the warning but also to just be more efficient. - If it is abandonware as seems likely, would you want to go halfsies on claiming support? - (I did a wider search for Git repos and found none.) *Boston.PM.org* <https://Boston.PM.org/> HOMEPAGE > *As seen on* *Perl Weekly* newsletter [image: icon] > <https://perlweekly.com/>, iCal calendar > <https://perlweekly.com/perlweekly.ical>, rss [image: RSS] > <https://perlweekly.com/perlweekly.rss>; > *FB <https://www.facebook.com/bostonpm/>*; ZulipChat Boston Open > <https://osdc.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/406743-boston>[image: icon] > Boston (BostonOpen.dev) and Perl channels; > *Mastodon* 🐘 @[email protected] <https://fosstodon.org/@Boston_PM> > ; *Mobilizon* ℹ️ 📅 calendar > <https://mobilizon.us/search?search=Boston+Perl>/events (past > <https://mobilizon.us/search?search=Boston+Perl&when=past&eventPage=1>) > I've already created the October Mobilzon event <https://mobilizon.us/events/d7cef0ed-23eb-4833-b2ac-791c50a08a40>, so anyone who wants can follow it. (M~n doesn't have a concept of following a Series or following an Organizer, but does have a Clone function. All I have to do is predict the hash of my secure jitsi; more Perl!) For those missing Meetup™ … Perl Weekly iCal calendar can be imported dynamically into most Calendar programs, and the RSS likewise any feedreader you have, will update to showing Sep 9th to Oct 14th start of next week. I'll try to stay current with that. *In other news,* I'll be the entertainment at the BLU.org meeting 3d Wednesday (next week) as per usual in September, giving my Cryptology news review for the last 12 months, update on commentary on what to use (instead), and a historical vignette. BostonPM is (always) invited. -- Bill Ricker [email protected] https://www.linkedin.com/in/n1vux _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] https://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
