The Perl Toolchain Summit 2026: Security, Testing, Porting and Community Collaboration

Furnished content.


From April 23-26, 2026, the invite-only Perl Toolchain Summit (PTS) brought together about 30 of the ecosystem's most active maintainers including four first-timers in Vienna, Austria for four days of uninterrupted deep-dive collaboration in pair-programming sessions, consensus discussions, and critical infrastructure work. Attendees tackled security tooling and infrastructure, modernization and redesign proposals, several CI and test harness improvements, Perl core optimizations, and metadata/spec updates.Thanks to all the sponsors’ support (financial, in-kind, and community), this year’s Summit was a success. It produced multiple module releases, consensus on future smoke-testing and CPAN Testers architecture, and a new CPANSec advisory feed that will allow developers to quickly assess any Perl project’s security using either CLI tools or the MetaCPAN website itself. Those advancements benefit all organizations relying on Perl directly or indirectly.

PTS 2026 Key Results & Deliverables

Security

• Vulnerability triage;
• CNA improvements;
• Meta V3 is moving forward;
• Deprecated Module::Signature, considered “security theater”.

Testing and Quality Assurance

• On the road to Devel::Cover 2.00;
• Several improvements made to Test::Smoke, with 3 releases: removal of dual PerlIO/stdio testing, making install more robust (and portable);
• Test::Smoke backend full rewrite to ensure sustainability with new features and better performance;
• The Test2 family of modules, including the new web user interface, was greatly improved, with many issues fixed and new features implemented;
• Syncing from backpan.perl.org to fill in CPAN Testers’ backpan;
• New MCP server mcp.cpantesters.org to browse CPAN Testers reports from your preferred LLM CLI.

Supply Chain and Other Modules

• Release of cpm v1;
• Fixes and hardening to YAML::XS, YAML::PP and libyaml;
• PPI saw several fixes and no fewer than 7 new releases;
• Perl::Version::Bumper updated to take advantage of the first of those 7 PPI releases;
• Continuous effort on MetaCPAN infrastructure: migration to Hetzner, improving secret management and monitoring;
• Proof of Concept of integrating GitHub Flavored Markdown to MetaCPAN;
• Huge progress on Automation Policy Metadata.

PAUSE

• Implemented new API token access;
• Security fixes (“rand rand rand rand”, “ABRA time” and “META symlinks”);
• New dockerized PAUSE;
• Various pentesting (e.g. reviewing YAML parser);
• Ongoing work on OAuth/OIDC;
• Several Pull Requests merged.

Funding

• A strong effort towards funding security work;
• General discussions about funding of the community.
