This is a bug report for perl from fulko@wecan.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.20 running under perl 5.00404.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]
I believe there is a problem in the way perl handles field widths in
printf style format strings (especially w.r.t similar "C" handling).
perl -e 'printf ("%2c-\n", " ");'
should print out 2 spaces followed by a dash. ie. " -"
more simply:
perl -e 'printf ("%c-\n", " ");'
does not print the space at all!
This also fails with perl 5.6.0 built for i586-linux.
