few weeks. Larry Wall thought that the problem looked like a resource
exhaustion or lockup, possibly related to embedded/tunneled Perl 5. He
asked for more output, which Moritz supplied. Agent Zhang pointed to a
post by chromatic which he thought might relate to the solution.
Additional comments were on
opportunities for syntactic sugar and a proposal that operators such
as `find_method` have the option of throwing an exception rather than
returning a NULL PMC on failure. Allison Randal remarked that the
exception question was under consideration in I/O as wel

module.
Shlomi argued for being liberal with commit bits, and expressed his
concern that the name Punie suggests that it is a toy. There was some
continued discussion on these points, and also on Shlomi's proposal.
