in reply to Another "Find the bug!" Node

For those people trying to figure out the problem on their own...I had all sorts of trouble figuring out the problem here, due to the test script I had set up.

This works fine.


#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use Package1 qw(:all);
use Package2 qw(:all);

$\ = $/;
print this();
print that();


print this();
print that();
print foobar();

To properly see the error, just make sure that Package2 is imported before Package1.


#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use Package2 qw(:all);
use Package1 qw(:all);

$\ = $/;
print this();
print that();


print this();
print that();
print foobar();

Until the other solutions were posted, I was sitting here scratching my head saying, "What bug?"
