This is <http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=49003>, fixed upstream after 5.10.0. It only happens with 'use filetest qw(access)'. Looks like we'll have to backport the fix, I'll clone the bug to track that. As a side note, the stat result cache "_" and 'use filetest qw(access)' don't mix well together. See 'perldoc filetest'. -- Niko Tyni [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
