| Subject: | Function prototypes are missing |
The functions exported to CORE::GLOBAL (time, localtime and gmtime) do
not have the same prototypes as the overridden built-ins. This means
that in some cases, they don't behave identically.
I have added a test file that proves this (prototypes.t). The first test
is obvious. The second and third are less obvious, but this is really
the way the built-ins behave.
I have added a diff file that shows which prototypes to add
(prototypes.diff).
Regards,
Peter du Marchie van Voorthuysen
