I would like Perl to stop working differently than documented.

Don't tell me, let me guess.

On the basis of that piece of self-asserting, broken and twisted logic, you are going to change perfectly valid and reasonable platform specific behaviour on windows, to fit the undocumented and platform specific behaviour exhibited on *nix.

Nowhere is the behaviour of -e '""' documented. Two different behaviours are observable, that fit with the local patterns and conventions of those platforms. And you are going to break a useful and logical feature of one platform to make it fit the non-useful and illogical behavour on the other. Rather than just document the platform difference.

Now, THAT is the very definition of asininity!

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
