# New Ticket Created by l.mai@web.de # Please include the string: [perl #128782] # in the subject line of all future correspondence about this issue. # <URL: https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=128782 > perldoc perlport: | Listed below are functions that are either completely unimplemented | or else have been implemented differently on various platforms. | Following each description will be, in parentheses, a list of | platforms that the description applies to. Note: "Following each description ...". As an example ('system'): | The return value is POSIX-like (shifted up by 8 bits), which only | allows room for a made-up value derived from the severity bits of | the native 32-bit condition code (unless overridden by "use vmsish | 'status'"). If the native condition code is one that has a POSIX | value encoded, the POSIX value will be decoded to extract the | expected exit value. For more details see "$?" in perlvms. (VMS) You have to read and understand the whole paragraph before finding out that it may be irrelevant to you at the end ("(VMS)"). I think it would be better if the list of platforms preceded each paragraph.Thread Previous
