Using B::Deparse, I found a difference in parsing between Perl version 5.6.1 and the 5.8.x branch.
I know that this does not look terribly important, except maybe for obfuscation contests, but I thought better to mention it, just
in case.
$ perl.5.6.1 -MO=Deparse -e '$a=$;;print $a'
$a = $;; # two semicolons, one belonging to the variable,
# the other one is a statement separator
print $a;
-e syntax OK
$ perl.5.8.0 -MO=Deparse -e '$a=$;;print $a'
$a = $; # the separator is missing
print $a;
-e syntax OK
$ perl.5.8.1 -MO=Deparse -e '$a=$;;print $a'
$a = $; # the separator is missing
print $a;
-e syntax OK
Is this a bug?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
