I'm getting different results from the same expression on two different machines.
Please let me know if this is the wrong forum.
Thanks,

Description
-----------
There's a peculiar difference between the perl's on qmprod and prd-s01.
The program:
print join('-', 'a', ('x' =~ /y/), 'b'), "\n";
produces different output on the two machines.
It seems the qmprod perl thinks
'a', ('x' =~ /y/), 'b'
is equivalent to
'a', '', 'b'
and the prd-s01 perl(s) to
'a', 'b'
or, maybe,
'a',,'b'
