I just saw something bizarre. I had a Perl module (CGI v4.35) which contained the following:
my $appease_cpants_kwalitee = q/ use strict; use warnings; #/; which is just a quoted string containing the lines that some sanity checking code expects to see (albeit as actual code, and not embedded as a string constant). That was in the original source. Getting into build_dir/target-xxx/perl/CGI-4.35/ and looking at ipkg-install/usr/lib/perl5/5.22/CGI.pm it’s identical to what’s in the tarball. However, looking at ipkg-x86_64/perl-cgi/usr/lib/perl5/5.22/CGI.pm I see that every line starting with /^#/ has been deleted. WTH??? Interestingly, lines beginning with /^[ \t]+#/ are untouched. Is ipkg doing something evil like stripping lines that it (apparently incorrectly) thinks are comments to save space? And if so, why???? How do I disable this?
