Unfortunately, I still see the problem with 20190503. Here's a sample report: http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/8a57e170-6ca1-11e9-bd8e-6a571f24ea8f And here's an overview of test reports: http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Dita-GB-Standard+20190503 As you see, only newer perls (5.28 and up) seem to be affected. (There seems also to be a problem with perl 5.20, but this is something different)

Well, it can also happen with perl 5.26.3: http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/8012d01c-6ca1-11e9-bd8e-6a571f24ea8f But there are also pass reports with 5.26. Show quoted text

\0 fixed in release 20190504, Is there a specification that explains the differences in path names between Perl 5.28 and earlier Perls?

This is documented in perl5280delta: * "stat()", "lstat()", and file test operators now fail if given a filename containing a nul character, in the same way that "open()" already fails.
