PVA.pl (PVA stands for Property Value Aliases) is a runtime file for unicode which is generated by the
mktables utility using the file lib/unicore/PropValueAliases.txt.


One of the properties in PropValueAliases.txt is EastAsianWidth for which 'A' is a value which stands for 'Ambiguous'.

The file PVA.pl (which is also in lib/unicore) contains a PVA_abbr_map. This contains a sequence of property aliases ('ea' for EastAsianWidth, 'jt' for JoiningType and so on) and their corresponding values.

The test that I run uses a hash (%utf8::PVA_abbr_map) and reads each of these property values in sequence (as it is listed under PVA_abbr_map in PVA.pl ).

But perl -d <testname> iterates through a couple of property names (and their values) but exits before the property 'ea' is picked up from PVA_abbr_map.

I changed the order of propertynames in PVA_abbr_map (in PVA.pl), but perl -d still continues to follow the original sequence of property names and exits before 'ea' is used.

Please let me know if some other details are required.

Thanks,
Rajarshi.

Who knows?

What is PVA.pl?

Did you write it?

If not, where did it come from?

There's not nearly enough background information in your question to
form a reasonable response, asidde from "yes, it's probably possible."
