Three members of the Debian Perl Group met in Hamburg between May 23 and May 30 2022 as part of the Debian Reunion Hamburg to continue perl development work for Bookworm and to work on QA tasks across our 3800+ packages.

The participants had a good time and met other Debian friends. The sprint was also productive:

• pkg-perl-tools and dh-make-perl were improved and extended.
• More than 50 uploads were done, and more than 30 bugs were fixed or at least triaged.
• autopkgtests were added to lots of packages.
• Some requests to remove obsolete packages were filed as well.

The more detailed report was posted to the Debian Perl mailing list.

The participants would like to thank the Debian Reunion Hamburg organizers for providing the framework for our sprint, all sponsors of the event, and all donors to the Debian project who helped to cover parts of our expenses.

Eight members of the Debian Perl team met online between May 15 and May 17 2020, in lieu of a planned physical sprint meeting. Work focussed on preparations for bullseye, and continued maintenance of the large number of perl modules maintained by the team.

Whilst an online sprint cannot fully replace an in-person sprint in terms of focussing attention, the weekend was still very productive, and progress was made on a range of topics including:

• Reducing technical debt by removing unmaintained packages
• Beginning packaging and QA for the next major release of perl, 5.32
• Deciding on a team policy for hardening flags
• Addressing concerns with Alien::* , a set of pacakges designed to download source code
• Developing a proposal for debian/NEWS.Developer, to complement debian/NEWS
• Developing a plan to enable SSL verification in HTTP::Tiny by default

The full report was posted to the relevant Debian mailing lists.

The participants would like to thank OpusVL for providing the Jitsi instance for the weekend.
