I'm sorry again for this total crap that is called the perl RT
system, but i managed to get to this report by searching for the
very number that is shown in the subject (second attempt, without
the #).
Note that if you follow the link

  Download (untitled)  [text/plain 1k]

you'll get a(n) (space-) unmangled version of the bug report, and
if you do copy-and-paste the example from in there, it'll work
just fine.

But thanks for telling me, should i ever have to face perlbug@
again i'll remember that the RT is terrible...

 |Thank you very much.
