RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: perl-5.10.1-133.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Using find2perl(1) tool to translate file name glob `a?b' to a Perl code. Consequence: The `?' glob is translated erroneously and resulting Perl code matches different names than the find(1) tool. Fix: Glob expression translator has been corrected not to copy the question mark to resulting regular expression. Result: find2perl(1) matches the same files as the find(1) tool when using globs with a question mark.

Description Petr Pisar 2012-05-28 09:26:02 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #825701 +++

$ find2perl -name 'a?b'
[...]
# Traverse desired filesystems
File::Find::find({wanted => \&wanted}, '.');
exit;
sub wanted {
    /^a.?b\z/s
    && print("$name\n");
}

The regular expression is wrong. Correct one is /^a.b\z/s.

Reported to upstream as <https://rt.perl.org/rt3/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=113054>. Patch is available there:
