Interesting. I haven't tried it on 5.6, only 5.005 (FreeBSD, Linux, and *cough*NT*cough*). I am going to play with that, and maybe sent it to p5p. Or, has anyone seen this in the 5.6 docs? Maybe this is Yet Another Thing Not Working in 5.6

Cheers,
KM

    I sent in a bug report, but I haven't gotten a human reply yet. I'm not nearly familiar enough with the internals of Perl to look for the problem myself, unfortunately.
      I'm not sure if it is a bug or not, or if --$# is the problem. I had some folks try:

      perl -le 'print --$#';

      on 5.6, and they got -1, which is correct. I need a tuit to look into this.

      Those who seemed to have an error from this, please try that one line, and let me know if you had an error (with the error), or if you do not.

      Cheers,
