Discriminatory or harassing conduct will not be tolerated

A permaban from Perl events over unacceptable behaviour has been reduced to a year for the developer concerned, named by several separate Perl sources as Matt Trout.
The first iteration of a Transparency Report by the computer language s Community Affairs Team (CAT) was published a week after the Perl Core developer known as Sawyer X announced his intention to leave the Perl Steering Council over alleged community hostility toward him.
The report dealt with poor community conduct in general and also went into some detail (although the language is very unclear) on two investigations into what the CAT described as potentially unacceptable behavior over IRC and Twitter and an incident at a 2019 Perl event.

On Monday, the Perl Core developer known as Sawyer X announced his intention to leave the three-person Perl Steering Committee, or Council, and the Perl Core group because of what he described as community hostility.
Sawyer X, who became pumpking – manager of the core Perl 5 language – in 2016 when he took over that role from Ricardo Signes, explained his rationale for departing in a post to a Perl discussion list. Due to the continuous abusive behavior by prominent Perl community members and just about anyone else who also feels entitled to harass me (and unfortunately, other Core developers), I am stepping down from the Steering Council, from the Perl security list, and from the Perl Core, Sawyer said, adding that he is stepping down from the Perl Foundation s Grants Committee and that he will not be speaking at or attending the next Perl conference.
