Paul ________________________________ From: Arne Johannessen <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, July 3, 2026 6:06 AM To: Perl 5 Porters <[email protected]> Subject: BBC / possible release blocker IO::Compress::Zip 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 affe= cted module according to a quick search for /IO::Compress.*:constants/ on g= rep.metacpan.org.
