This is no 'deep' subject or problem (that I know of), but it sorta surprised me.

... use P; use Types::Core; ... Sorry , but tThat is not a minimal demonstration of a bug in perl, something you should have included in the OP

I don't know, but it sure seems like the Anon posting function being abused by someone trolling and looking to create a toxic atmosphere. --- BTW -- both of those modules are relatively simple and in pure perl.

That isn't very reasonable perl-diddler, How do I post a question effectively?, its for everybody

If I thought it was a problem, I might have thought to investigate it before hand so toxic people wouldn't attack for having a conversation with people about a weird thing I saw and wondering about it.

Is this a friendly place or is this a rule-bound hostile place where people can't pose ill-defined symptoms.

If I needed any help debugging a program, I might consider that advice, but more often than not, I'm posing ideas or questions that don't involve code -- something I want other people's opinion on or to bounce ideas or thoughts off of.

Sorry, but claiming I should have followed a writeup on asking a question about a behavior I saw, but had no test case for until another anonmonk tried to shutdown discussion about whether or not it might be a bug and gave an unrelated example to prove it, is a bit rule-bound and rigid.

So far anonmonk as tried to shut down discussion, then said that code that reproduced the problem wasn't a valid minimal test case (like anyone claimed it was). And then whined about the question not being posed in a way that their rules applied.

Is the anon-function ever used for anything useful, or just to harass and generate toxic comments?

Seems to me it's being abused and given the nature of this being a technical discussion board, and not a life-counseling center, I see no reason why it should even have an anon-function.

Whether it is a bug, "per se" ignores whether or not it is desirable or helpful behavior.

But that gets back to the purpose of the software being to *help* the users of it -- not to gratify the ego of those who dominate it -- an opinion that I definitely seem to be in a minority of around here.

Your attitude stinks.
