[ID 20000419.004] -MO=Deparse problems.
Message ID:

This is a bug report for perl from abigail@arena-i.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.28 running under perl v5.6.0.


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

I've noticed two problems with -MO=Deparse. 

First, consider:

    perl -MO=Deparse -le 'sub foo {print "Hello"} foo ()'

which will give:

    sub foo {
        print 'Hello';
    }
    foo ;

It looses the printing of the newline, mandated by the -l.

More serious is the problem we get when we put the package name there when
we define and call the sub:

    perl -MO=Deparse -le 'sub bar::foo {print "Hello"} bar::foo ()'

which will give us just:

    bar::foo ;


It becomes worse when picking _::_ as the sub name:

    perl -MO=Deparse -le 'sub _::_ {print "Hello"} _::_ ()'

which prints:

    _ ;

Not only is the sub definition lost, when calling the sub, the package
name is also lost.
