Perl patch level 12 no longer prints "*x" if a symbol table entry is given
as a parameter. The problem is that Larry changed "Stab" to "StB" except in
doarg.c (function do_sprintf). I wonder why? Ever heard of 'abstract data
types', Larry? :=)
#! /local/bin/perl
sub prname
{ local(*x) = @_ ;
print @x, "\n" ;
print *x, "\n" ;
print sprintf("%s\n",*x) ;
printf("%s\n",*x) ;
}
@aap = ( 1, 2, 3, 4) ;
do prname(*aap) ;
