[ID 20000305.001] [BUG 5.5.670 perl.c] SITELIB_EXP mangled by hack.
Message ID:

This is a bug report for perl from schwern@pobox.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.27 running under perl v5.5.670.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]
As you will notice below, site_perl didn't make it into @INC.
Here's the relevent stuff from config.sh:
installsitearch='/usr/local/perl5.6/lib/site_perl/i686-linux-64all'
installsitelib='/usr/local/perl5.6/lib/site_perl'
And config.h:
#define SITEARCH "/usr/local/perl5.6/lib/site_perl/i686-linux-64all"
/**/
#define SITEARCH_EXP "/usr/local/perl5.6/lib/site_perl/i686-linux-64all"
#define SITELIB "/usr/local/perl5.6/lib/site_perl" /**/
#define SITELIB_EXP "/usr/local/perl5.6/lib/site_perl" /**/
You'll note the lack of trailing slashes.
Unfortunately this little bit in perl.c does some damage:
#ifdef SITELIB_EXP
{
char *path = SITELIB_EXP;
if (path) {
char buf[1024];
strcpy(buf,path);
if (strrchr(buf,'/')) /* XXX Hack, Configure var needed */
*strrchr(buf,'/') = '\0';
incpush(buf, TRUE);
}
}
#endif
That strrchr changes "/usr/local/perl5.6/lib/site_perl" into
"/usr/local/perl5.6/lib\000site_perl". Thus, problem. Forget the
trailing slash while configuring and you're in trouble (especially
since the default has no trailing slash.)
I know the lack of proper site_perl handling in config is a known
issue, but it seems the band-aid is worse than the wound. Would
slapping a trailing slash on the end of the directory in Configure be
a slightly better hack?
installsitelib='$installsitelib/'
