[ID 20010629.003] Symbol::delete_package bug
Message ID:
200106292030.QAA03779@acmex.gatech.edu
This is a bug report for perl from gt4556a@gatech.edu,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.26 running under perl 5.00503.


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

Problem: Symbol.pm 's delete_package function doesn't delete the package from
%INC, so when require()ing the package again, it's still found in %INC and not
reloaded.

Fix: making delete_package delete the package from %INC as well or documenting
this so the coder is aware of it and can manually remove the package from %INC.

Sample code and a patch on request.
