Re^2: How to kill perl?

So, it turns out that your map/reverse bug is just one of a family of crash bugs, e.g:

perl -e "map chomp(+()), ('')x10000;"
perl -e "map chown(+()), ('')x10000;"
perl -e "map warn(+()), ('')x100;"

Though they're all fixed now!

Not all of them are fixed, the top two tested negative, with `Perl 5.8.7`; however, the bottom one produced this. `perl -e "map warn(+()), ('')x100;" ... ... Warning: something's wrong at -e line 1. Warning: something's wrong at -e line 1. Warning: something's wrong at -e line 1. Warning: something's wrong at -e line 1. Warning: something's wrong at -e line 1. Warning: something's wrong at -e line 1. Warning: something's wrong at -e line 1. Segmentation fault` [download] UPDATE: You are correct by increasing the number to 100_000, the top two crash as well. Evan Carroll www.EvanCarroll.com	[reply] [d/l] [select]

They're fixed in bleadperl, as of two days ago. The bug is still there in 5.8.7, and all three of these tests crash 5.8.7 for me. (Maybe you can see the crash too, if you increase the 10000 to something larger?)	[reply]

`perl -e "map warn(+()), ('')x100;"` still crashes 5.10.0 -- just an update Evan Carroll The most respected person in the whole perl community. www.evancarroll.com	[reply] [d/l]
