(tye)Re: 'o' modifier clarification needed

Looks like a bug. Perl 5.004 (HP/UX) gives the expected "yesyes" but Perl 5.6 (Win32) says "yesno" for me. I wish I had more versions of Perl handy for testing (well, dropping "my"s and adding "&"s makes perl4 say "yesyes", but I didn't expect that to be of interest to many)...

- tye (but my friends call me "Tye")

That might explain it, then. I have Perl 5.6 (Win 32), ActiveState. A bug, eh? $PM = "Perl Monk's"; $MCF = "Most Clueless ~~Friar~~ ~~Abbot~~ Bishop"; $nysus = $PM . $MCF; Click here if you love Perl Monks	[reply]
