There seems to be a bug in Cygwin's perl (5.6.1). The
following code:
perl -e 'print $^S || 0;eval {print $^S || 0}; print
$^S || 0;'
should produce '010'
However, on Cygwin perl 5.6.1, it produces 011. This
means that perl incorrectly thinks it's in an eval
block when it's not. I've checked this on perl v5.6.1
for other platforms (including Win32) and it seems to
work fine.
Relevant output and cygcheck -s follows. Has anyone
run into this? I've checked this on several other
perl flavors and had no problem. I searched the
mailing list and didn't find any clues.
