Approximately 57 tickets were worked on, and 12 patches were applied.
Probably the most interesting issue this month was diagnosing the HP-UX bus error in during regexp compilation, I won't repeat the diagnosis here, but it can be found at:
"http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2014/02/msg212925.html":http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2014/02/msg212925.html
with some on-point follow-ups from Nicholas Clark, Dave Mitchell and Yves Orton.
This month brings the total hours spent on my second grant to 265.07 hours, which exceeds the limits of the grant.
