This is a bug report for perl from mgjv@verbruggen.comdyn.com.au,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.33 running under perl v5.6.1.

[Please enter your report here]

POSIX::isprint, POSIX::isgraph and POSIX::isspace are not working as
advertised, and are working differently from the character classes
[[::print:]], [[:graph:]] and [[:space:]]. The following test program
displays the wrong result on both Solaris 8 and linux (redhat 8):

require POSIX; 

my @a1 = grep POSIX::isprint($_), map chr($_), 0x20, 0x41 .. 0x5a;
my @a2 = grep POSIX::isgraph($_), map chr($_), 0x20, 0x41 .. 0x5a;
my @a3 = grep POSIX::isspace($_), map chr($_), 0x20, 0x41 .. 0x5a;

printf "%d %d %d\n", scalar @a1, scalar @a2, scalar @a3;

my @a1 = grep /^[[:print:]]$/, map chr($_), 0x20, 0x41 .. 0x5a;
my @a2 = grep /^[[:graph:]]$/, map chr($_), 0x20, 0x41 .. 0x5a;
my @a3 = grep /^[[:space:]]$/, map chr($_), 0x20, 0x41 .. 0x5a;

printf "%d %d %d\n", scalar @a1, scalar @a2, scalar @a3;

Solaris:
$ /opt/perl-5.8.0/bin/perl /tmp/foo.pl
27 27 27
27 26 1

Linux:
/opt/perl-5.8.0/bin/perl foo.pl       
27 27 27
27 26 1

Under 5.6.1 under linux this works fine, as expected (I don't have
5.6.1 on solaris available at the moment) On 5.005_03 on either
platform the [[:foo:]] character classes don't work, as we all know,
but the POSIX functions work correctly.
