This is my monthly report for May on work done covered by my TPF perl core
maintenance grant.
The main things I did were to fix an obscure panic when an eval is the
last statement in a regex code block, e.g.
/....(?{...; eval { ... }; }) .../
And, as a side-effect of working on that, I also improved the docs
covering how perl handles exceptions internally.
(Both these bits of work are currently in a branch but not yet merged.)
Other than that, I ended up having my gall bladder removed late May, the
pre- and post- effects of which have reduced the hours I have spent on
perl somewhat recently - mostly just trying to keep up to date with my p5p
mailbox and not doing much "real" work.
SUMMARY:
```
5:16 GH #19680 panic: restartop in perl_run
5:01 improve docs for internal exception handling (JMPENV etc)
5:26 process p5p mailbox
0:32 refactor regen/warnings.pl
------
16:15 TOTAL (HH::MM)
```
