I downloaded and compiled the pristine source for perl-5.18.4 perl-5.20.3 perl-5.22.2 perl-5.24.0 on Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS. Then this works: myfunc() { echo OK $*; } export -f myfunc seq 3 | PERL5LIB=lib ./perl `which parallel` myfunc PERL5LIB=lib ./perl `which parallel` myfunc ::: 1 2 3 All of this leads me to believe that a bug has been introduced in the 58 patches. Failing perl version: $ perl --version This is perl 5, version 22, subversion 1 (v5.22.1) built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi (with 58 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/perl/+bug/1608268/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
