I don't agree that it's resolved. It was specifically a bug report against the
5.8.x implementation.

(Although it's likely that I'd be the person to fix it, I wanted a ticket in
RT to note that it's broken)

Then can you clarify what behavior you expect/want?


$ perl-5.8.8 -le 'print uc *foo; print uc *bar . ""'

*MAIN::BAR

$ perl-5.8.x/perl -le 'print uc *foo; print uc *bar . ""' # (patch 33536)
*MAIN::FOO
*MAIN::BAR

$ perl-blead/perl -le 'print uc *foo; print uc *bar . ""'
*MAIN::FOO
*MAIN::BAR


Kind regards,

Bram
