The issue happens in Email::Simple (one of its tests is now failing, but it was ok in 2017.07). Here's the code: use v6; use Test; use Email::Simple; my $nr = "\x0a\x0d"; my $nasty = "Subject: test{$nr}To: foo{$nr}{$nr}foo{$nr}"; my $mail = Email::Simple.new($nasty); is $mail.crlf, "{$nr}", "got correct line terminator"; is $mail.body, "foo{$nr}", "got correct body"; is ~$mail, $nasty, "Round trip nasty"; Result: ok 1 - got correct line terminator ok 2 - got correct body not ok 3 - Round trip nasty # Failed test 'Round trip nasty' # at t/basic.t line 9 # expected: "Subject: test\n\rTo: foo\n\r\n\rfoo\n\r" # got: "Subject: test\n\rTo: foo\n\r\n\rfoo\n\r" Yes, it displays two strings that look identical, but (~$mail eq $nasty) is actually False.
