Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

perl-5.8.8-10

Comment 1 Jack Tanner 2007-06-05 16:42:46 UTC
This only seems like a syntax error, but it's really a runtime bug. Note that it
has been fixed on upstream 5.9.x trunk, but not on 5.8.8 branch:

Could we install that patch on Fedora? Not sure what Perl is in F7, but don't
forget FC6, please.

Comment 2 Robin Norwood 2007-06-13 20:04:27 UTC
Hi Jack,

I can apply the patch, but can you point me towards a way to reproduce the issue?

Comment 3 Jack Tanner 2007-06-25 18:21:35 UTC
I came across this issue in the process of troubleshooting a bug in E-P-I-C,
which is an Eclipse plug-in for editing Perl.

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1729216&group_id=75859&atid=545274

I think that the fix I request will alleviate some (but not all) causes of that bug.
