I spent last month mainly continuing to work on rewriting and modernising
perlxs.pod, Perl's reference manual for XS. The first draft is now about
80% complete. The bits that have been reworked so far have ended up having
essentially none of the original text left, apart from section header
titles (which are now in a different order). So it's turning into a
complete rewrite from scratch.
It's still a work-in-progress, so nothing's been pushed yet.
Other than that, I successfully diagnosed an issue where DBI was emitting
warnings on recent perls under FreeBSD.
Summary:
* 7:25 GH #23306 Warnings on exit when DBI handle is global variable
* 34:36 modernise perlxs.pod
Total:
* 42:01 (HH::MM)
