[ID 19991118.012] Anonymous glob breaks when assigned through

This is a bug report for perl from mjd@plover.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.26 running under perl 5.00502.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

	#!/usr/bin/perl
	
	$x = \*F;
	print "$x\n";
	*{$x} = sub {};
	print "$x\n";
	print *$x, "\n";
	
	print "-------------------------\n";
	
	$y = \do { local *F };
	print "$y\n";
	*{$y} = sub {};
	print "$y\n";
	print *$y, "\n";


I want these two sections of code to do the same thing.  I make a glob
reference.  Then I try to assign a subroutine to the CODE part of the
glob.  If the reference is to a glob like *F, it works as it should.
But if the reference is to a fake glob, as in the second section, the
assignment turns the globref into a scalar ref.

The output of the program is:

	GLOB(0x81308a4)
	GLOB(0x81308a4)
	*main::F
	-------------------------
	GLOB(0x812a23c)
	SCALAR(0x812a23c)
	Not a GLOB reference at /tmp/oops.pl line 15.

I want it to be:
	
	GLOB(0x81308a4)
	GLOB(0x81308a4)
	*main::F
	-------------------------
	GLOB(0x812a23c)
	GLOB(0x812a23c)
	*main::F

The behavior is the same under perl 5.005_02, _55, _56, _57, _61, and _62.
