>Synopsis: perl is broken in i386 -current
>Category: perl
>Environment:
System : OpenBSD 7.9
Details : OpenBSD 7.9-current (GENERIC.MP) #427: Sun Jun 7
00:54:31 MDT 2026
[email protected]:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC.MP
Architecture: OpenBSD.i386
Machine : i386
>Description:
Attemtp to use perl in clean i386 VM leads to:
panic: Unexpectedly didn't find a dot radix character in '0.b41000000'
at - line 1.
>How-To-Repeat:
Like that:
obsd-i386$ perl
use v5.36;
panic: Unexpectedly didn't find a dot radix character in
'0.b41000000' at - line 1.
obsd-i386$
>Fix:
dmesg:
