in reply to Interesting (split) oddity with 5.6.1, fixed in 5.8.0

This is interesting, but it doesn't look like a split oddity. It looks like a slice oddity. And I can't find any documentation in my brief perusal through the Camel book that shows whether this is defined behavior or not.

    Sort of. It's a slice on temporary lists oddity, I think. That's what I was trying to indicate with (split). It also applies to (//g), for instance.

    Oddly, it doesn't affect "real" slices like @a[1,2,1] or (localtime)[1,2,1], or even slicing map or grep results.

    I've searched through my local p5p archive, and haven't managed to find who first spotted or fixed this. They deserve major congratulations for sorting out something this odd...
