While trying to fix a problem for David Fetter, I found this rather
obscure plperl bug. It occurs, I think, in these 2 lines in
plperl.c::plperl_get_elem():
if (hv_exists_ent(hash, eval_pv(key, TRUE), FALSE)) svp = hv_fetch(hash, key, strlen(key), FALSE);
This works except where key is the name of a perl builtin function, when
it comprehensively breaks, because instead of treating it as a string
perl will return the value of the function from eval_pv(). I hope to
have a solution soon, but meanwhile it needs to go on the open items list.
cheers
