This is a bug report for perl from niczero@wow.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.40 running under perl 5.24.0.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The POD for sysseek [perldoc -f sysseek] appears to me to have an
error. In the second stanza it says
Note the in bytes: even if the filehandle has been set to operate
on characters (for example by using the ":encoding(utf8)" I/O
layer), "tell" will return byte offsets, not character offsets
(because implementing that would render "sysseek" unacceptably
slow).
Where it says "tell" I think it should say "sysseek". I suspect
it shouldn't mention 'tell' at all, other than in the following
stanza.
