I thought it better to adapt your sample code, rather than adding a whole new test script, so it's in as change 30608. > Could the fix be extracted from the 5.8.9 line so it can be > backported for Debian, etc. ? 5.8.9 isn't a line, so much as the not-yet-made release on the 5.8.x line, the current stable release line. In the past Debian have been rather fast at updating their stable perl with changes merged to maint between official 5.8.x releases, so they may already have this change. This may have changed, I'm mostly not using Debian systems. Nicholas ClarkThread Previous | Thread Next
