A couple of bugs in 3.0.1.10 patch level 44:
#! /usr/local/perl
# A big input file not terminated with a newline makes
# this program dump core, e.g. :
# echo -n "hi" | cat /etc/termcap - | this_prog
while(<>)
{
eof();
eof;
}
Also, in 'look.pl', the "dictionary order" flag, $dict, is
missing from the 'local(...)=@_;' statement.

A couple of bugs in 3.0.1.10 patch level 44:
The debugger won't take 'do' from the keyboard. It confuses it with
the 'd' debugger command. In testing this, I saw an unrelated anamoly:
DB<1> do 'look.pl'
DB<2> &look
Undefined subroutine "main'look" called at /usr/local/lib/perl/perldb.pl line 508.
DB<3> require 'look.pl'
DB<4> &look
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
perl>
Also, I previously posted the following, but it didn't seem to get past
the large Seattle-area company beginning with a 'B' :
#! /usr/local/perl
# A big input file not terminated with a newline makes
# this program dump core, e.g. :
# echo -n "hi" | cat /etc/termcap - | this_prog
while(<>)
{
eof();
eof;
}
Also, in 'look.pl', the "dictionary order" flag, $dict, is
missing from the 'local(...)=@_;' statement.

You'll find that that is fixed in the beta.
