`$ perl -f -we " use File::Spec::Functions; my $x=q{x}; require catfile +($x,catfile($x,$x)) " syntax error at -e line 1, near "require catfile(" Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors. $ perl -f -we " use File::Spec::Functions; my $x=q{x}; require scalar( +catfile($x,catfile($x,$x))) " Can't locate x\x\x in @INC` [download] catfile isn't a builtin, scalar is a builtin, so perl knows scalar isn't a bareword, but it thinks catfile is a bareword :)	[reply] [d/l]
