Re^2: s-Operator in Perl 5.8.0

[bronto]

Dave, please could you update your node with a small excerpt from the relevant documentation?

Thanks

[hv]

Here are some related references in the perlbug database: [perl #17605], [perl #19545], [perl #23227].

The first of those includes the analysis and fix: at a certain point a bug was introduced that broke any attempt to execute an empty sub, via eval or otherwise. In the worst cases this would cause a coredump.

Er, there is no relevant documentation

Dave.
