As much as it goes against my grain to feed trolls (why else go on about tangents?)... "What else do you want?" How about an explanation, as indicated in the original message?
doesn't really explain why things have gone awry.
The "work-around" is in name only. The code is the result of parsing user input, and there may be any number of ways of triggering this behavior... again, as indicated in the original message. Some people want band-aids or magic pills, others want to know what caused the accident.
If I'd expected the perl 5.6 tree to be fixed (unlikely without concrete knowledge of what the issue is), I'd have filed a perlbug, and linked it. Instead, I was simply hoping for some inisight and, umm, *wisdom*.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
