Subject: Perl 5.{6,8} fails C:P test suite
Date: Sun, 5 Feb 2012 21:34:00 +0000
To: bug-Classic-Perl [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Zefram <zefram [...] fysh.org>
Classic::Perl's t/arybase.t tests that $[ settings are lexically scoped. C:P's implementation passes. Perl 5.{6,8} fails, blocking installation of C:P on such Perls. Turns out $[ setting was only lexically scoped if "local"ised. I don't think attempting to replicate the real historical behaviour is sensible. Attached patch changes the test suite to only test the cases where C:P agrees with historical Perl, and adds appropriate qualifiers to the documentation. -zefram

Thank you. I’ve just applied your test patch, but I reworded the documentation differently. I have just released 0.05.
