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
