This is a bug report for perl from jmitchell@frb.gov,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.28 running under perl v5.6.0.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]
Running the code:
for (qw(~ ~)) {
my $expanded = glob($_);
print "scalar: $expanded\n";
($expanded) = glob($_);
print "list: $expanded\n";
}
Gives the output:
scalar: /eim/home/m1jhm01
list: /eim/home/m1jhm01
scalar:
list: /eim/home/m1jhm01
If called more times, it alternates between working and not working when
called in scalar context.
I have version 0.991 of File::Glob installed, while search.cpan.org tells
me that the current version is 1.02. Arguably it is a more serious bug
that I cannot figure out how to view the Changes file for File::Glob on
search.cpan.org or apparently install the latest version of File::Glob
without installing all of Perl. Hence, I do not know whether this bug has
already been fixed.
