Subject: Liblist/Kid.pm ! versus =~
Date: Wed, 09 Jul 2008 08:14:04 +1000
To: bug-extutils-makemaker [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Kevin Ryde <user42 [...] zip.com.au>
In makemake 6.44 Liblist/Kid.pm _unix_os2_ext() I noticed a line && (! $Config{'archname'} =~ /RM\d\d\d-svr4/) I wonder if that might be always false due to ! having higher precedence than =~. (I came across it trying some perlcritic to detect that sort of doubtful "!". I don't know if it hurts anything in practice.)
Nice catch, thanks! I'm sure you've made somebody on some wildly obscure OS happy. :)
