We may change Encode in blead too, since it already differs from

step is for me to fix Devel::PPPort to handle the things that
Encode needs, issue a pull request there, and after that is
resolved issue an Encode PR.

Hi! One month passed, do you have any progress in syncing blead and cpan
Encode version? Or do you need some help?

I don't see any way to easily split up the tasks.  In the next 48 hours I
will push to blead the changes for Encode to use.  In working on this, I've
seen some other things I think should happen to blead to give XS writers all
they need so they won't be tempted to get to such a low level as before,and
introduce security bugs.  And I am working on this and expect to finish this
coming week.  After this soaks in blead for a while, I'll issue a pull
request so that all the tools are in Devel::PPPort.  At that time Encode can
be sync'd.

Hi! I send my changes and fixes for Encode to upstream on github.
It includes fixes for more crashed reported in rt.cpan.org.

I think that those fixes for crashes should be included also in blead as
processing untrusted data (e.g. prepared from attacker) leads in crash
of whole perl...
