Sorry. The bug is present in at least perl 5.13.9. > > Based on my search through a checkout of blead: * I too believe this is a bug; * the same erroneous language is present in Porting/Glossary as well; * Porting/Glossary is also a generated file, so it probably shares the same source as lib/Config.pod; but * I, too, cannot locate the source of the generated text. In particular, I can't figure out what or where 'Options.U' is, and I don't find any other 'Options.[upper-case-letter]' mentioned. Paging all Configure experts! Thank you very much.
