Ok, this is even weirder:
Perl - 5.6.1
$ ls -la ~/foo
-r-xr-xr-x 1 persicom develop 0 Dec 28 21:15 /home/persicom/foo
Perl - 5.6.1
$ perl -e 'if (-x "/home/persicom/foo"){print "got it\n"}else{print
"no got it\n"}'
got it
Perl - 5.6.1
$ perl -e 'use filetest "access";if (-x "/home/persicom/foo"){print
"got it\n"}else{print "no got it\n"}'
got it
Perl - 5.6.1
$ swap_perl -r /home/persicom/ 5.10.0
Warning: You are changing the Perl root location, not just the
version. Vaya con dios...
Swapping out Perl 5.6.1
Swapping in Perl 5.10.0
Perl - 5.10.0
$ ls -la ~/foo
-r-xr-xr-x 1 persicom develop 0 Dec 28 21:15 /home/persicom/foo
Perl - 5.10.0
$ perl -e 'if (-x "/home/persicom/foo"){print "got it\n"}else{print
"no got it\n"}'
got it
Perl - 5.10.0
$ perl -e 'use filetest "access";if (-x "/home/persicom/foo"){print
"got it\n"}else{print "no got it\n"}'
no got it
HUH?? What is borken about filetest "access" in 5.10? Where should I
report this? Any particular person, group or just use perlbug?
