You are free to patch Perl to fix this.

Sorry, this is a really old post, but this REALLY pisses me off. This is exactly the kind of response that gives our community a reputation of being a bunch of self righteous neck beards that take every possible opportunity to feel superior to those less experienced us. It's pretty unlikely that if he had the skill to fix this in Perl, he'd be asking this question on this forum. He wasn't being disrespectful, and unless you're enough of an egghead to have never gotten frustrated, respectfully expressed that frustration and asked for help, but instead patched the offending compiler/interpreter, you should probably keep comments like that to yourself.
