+I tried compiling with Sun's native CC and GCC. Both worked fine, but
+caused this problem. I'll try it with Larry's original version when I
+get a chance.
+
+wjm> perl5 -e 'die "hello $. \n";

+
+Ah. But, note that the $. STILL isn't working. So only ONE of those
+bugs did not show.
+
+This is my current list of bugs (not complete, but what I've had time
+to note). Hope it helps:
+
+"perl -e die" will cause a seg-fault
+
+$. is not updated
+
+Memory leak for anonymous arrays:
+ while(1) { @a = (1, 2, 3, [4, 5], 6); @a = (); }
+ Will keep allocating and not freeing memory.
+
+"perl -e 'sub foo {print 1} foo'" should either complain or call foo,
+ but does neither. Or, did Larry not impliment the &-less
+ function calling that he was talking about?
+
+"perl -le 'sub foo {1} $a = \&foo; print &{$a}; print &{$a} + 1'" should
+ not fail to parse.
