in thread constant.pm + index() + Pod::Coverage crashes on Perl 5.10

For which Perl version do you get these results? When I run your program on Perl 5.20, I get the following output, which is what I expect:

c:\Users\Corion\Projekte>perl -w tmp.pl $VAR1 = 'abc'; $VAR1 = 'cde'; $VAR1 = 'abc'; $VAR1 = 'cde';

If you're waiting for a bug to be fixed for Perl 5.10, just upgrade to something newer. According to perlpolicy, Perl 5.10 is out of support since at least 2011.

    Hi Corion, much appreciate you looking into this. Sorry for not attaching the Perl version. This is indeed 5.10 and yes I can confirm that it has been fixed somewhere between 5.14.2 and 5.18.1 which are the versions currently available to me. We are in the process of upgrading the hardware and Perl with it ;), so it's good to know that this has been fixed. Thanks again. Best regards, Stefan
