Dear Brian, Mmm, It seems that the behavior is changed, but not resolved yet. I observe now @List[(3)] = 3 $List[3] = 3 , which are not the expected results of @List[(3)] = 3.5 $List[3] = 3.5 I've tested on perl 5.14.2 (comes with Ubuntu 12.04) and perl 5.16.0 (just compiled). BTW, I totally forget about how I have encountered with this symptom. regards, IKEGAMI, Tsutomu AIST t-ikegami@aist.go.jp From: "Brian Fraser via RT" <perlbug-followup@perl.org> Subject: [perl #36664] [RESOLVED] Strange behavior of shared array Date: Thu, 24 May 2012 19:26:10 -0700 > According to our records, your request regarding > "Strange behavior of shared array" > has been resolved. > > If you have any further questions or concerns, please respond to this message. > > For other topics, please create a new ticket. > > <URL: https://rt.perl.org:443/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=36664 >
