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";
wjm> hello
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.
