There is a (minor?) regression issue in a CPAN-first dual-life module, = IO::Compress::Zip. A fix is in the works. https://github.com/pmqs/IO-Compress/issues/78 This is technically a BBC issue, with Archive::SCS::Zip being the only = affected module according to a quick search for = /IO::Compress.*:constants/ on grep.metacpan.org. We could probably ask = its author to do a workaround, but I worry slightly about affected code = that isn't on CPAN. I mean, Perl users will be able to just update IO::Compress::Zip from = CPAN if necessary. But this is still something that worked in 5.42 and = currently doesn't work in 5.44. Given that 5.44.0 is just around the corner: Is this a release blocker, = or should the fix rather be deferred for a future 5.44.1 maintenance = update? --=20 Arne Johannessen <https://arne.johannessen.de/>
