[comp.lang.perl] bug in PL12?

mike@cochise.pcs.com (Mike Schroeder) (03/07/90)

Hi,

I've just grabbed patches 9 - 12 and applied them - all compiles
fine etc.etc.

BUT: when I run "make test", it bombs out at 'base.lex' with error
message "Failed on test g" and (naturally) can't continue. So I
copied and changed TEST in dir 't', commenting out the "die...".

Ran that and got "FAILED on test g" for a whole load of other
tests as well ;-(

This is on a SVR3.2 machine. PL8 ran fine!

Any hints?

Update on this:

just ran "base.lex" on it's own and got errors on tests 3 and 7

tried some others that produced errors, eg.:

-su- COCHISE [234] cmd.for
1..7
#1      :g: eq :10:
#1      :0 g g g g g g g g g g: eq :0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10:

What are those "g"'s???? Somehow, I think that that is where the
problem is, but what causes it?

->Any hints?

As I said, any hints?

Thanx
