(crazyinsomniac) Re: 'o' modifier clarification needed

I get the same *bug* on both ActivePerl and IndigoPerl.

~~What appears to be going is that perlfunc:reset is being called, when the o switch is supposed to prevent that from happening.~~ It's probably a very stupid logic oversight by one of the Win32 porters, as I honestly doubt that there are two sets of ~~idiots~~ knuckleheads to blunder this ;-)

ActivePerl (Win32)
Build 618, Build 623, Build 628

IndigoPerl
Compiled at Aug 27 2000 21:41:04, Compiled at Feb 24 2001 17:05:45, and IndigoPerl Build 626 Compiled at May 6 2001 21:37:25 (they just started numbering their builds).

update: jcwrens freebsd perl 5.005_03 built for i386-freebsd Compiled at Apr 21 2001 08:25:58 is unaffected ;-)

update:: D'Oh! It was thinking of ?? (as in ?PATTERN?). You know, a nice /tell would've been nice ;-)

Says crazyinsomniac: What appears to be going is that perlfunc:reset is being called, when the o switch is supposed to prevent that from happening. `reset` has absolutely nothing to do with `/o`. -- Mark Dominus Perl Paraphernalia	[reply]
