Package: perl Version: 5.8.8-7 This program:
###################################################################### use Devel::Peek; my $data = '123'; open my $fh, '<', \$data; my $x = tell $fh; Dump($x); ###################################################################### shows that tell($fh) returns data with different internal types depending on the architecture. On amd64, it's: SV = IV(0x5262c0) at 0x504fd0 REFCNT = 1 FLAGS = (PADBUSY,PADMY,IOK,pIOK) IV = 0 But on i386, we have: SV = NV(0x816dfe8) at 0x814f558 REFCNT = 1 FLAGS = (PADBUSY,PADMY,NOK,pNOK) NV = 0 This NV/IV difference causes problems for some test harnesses. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
