I hope this message will be reported as a reply to the bug because:
1. There isn't a link back to the bug record on the web from the email.
2. There isn't a reply button on the
http://rt.perl.org/rt3//Public/Bug/Display.html?id=39758 record.
Both of these are as opposed to the convention on almsot any other bug-tracker
out there, including the ones for KDE, GNOME, Mozilla, and what the users
expect (and is the case for rt.cpan.org). See:
* http://use.perl.org/~Shlomi+Fish/journal/33303
* http://www.joelonsoftware.com/uibook/chapters/fog0000000057.html
I screamed from frustration.

There you go:
http://www.shlomifish.org/Files/files/code/bugs/perl-minus-d/
( The eskimo.shlomifish.org site went offline due to political reasons, but I
still have copies of it here.)

It no longer exists, but it probably still exists in perl-5.8.8. I can check
again.

The bad thing about hardware is that it sometimes work and sometimes doesn't.
The good thing about software is that it's consistent: it always does not
work, and it always does not work in exactly the same way.
