As I said in earlier mail - there is code in mg.c i.e. mg_get
which does
save_magic();
...
restore_magic();
And there is MGf_GSKIP which is tested as well.
But the code for FETCH does:
int
Perl_magic_getpack(pTHX_ SV *sv, MAGIC *mg)
{
magic_methpack(sv,mg,"FETCH");
if (mg->mg_ptr)
mg->mg_flags |= MGf_GSKIP;
return 0;
}
i.e. it sets the "skip" flag _after_ calling the method - which seems odd.
