Package: perl-doc Version: 5.8.8-12 Severity: normal In the documentation for the "follow" option, the following paragraph is found:
"It is guaranteed that an lstat has been called before the user's "wanted()" function is called. This enables fast file checks involving _. Note that this guarantee no longer holds if follow or follow_fast are not set." There are two problems. First, "checks involving _" should presumably be "checks involving $_". Secondly, the last sentence "Note..." is redundant and actually a bit confusing since it makes one wonder whether one missed something earlier. Since it's already very clear that this paragraph only applies to the case where follow or follow_fast is in effect, I think this last sentence can be removed. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (700, 'testing'), (601, 'unstable'), (600, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages perl-doc depends on: ii perl 5.8.8-12 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction perl-doc recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
