Actually, one buglet that manifests multiple times.
Of course, it could just be that my system are wierd (which is true).
I haven't had a chance to trace this down exactly, but when Configure tries
to figure out hostname and domain, it gets some wierd results.
On one machine I tested it on, it found the hostname correctly (we'll say
it is perl.com for example). Notice that the hostname is only two part.
When it tried to determine the domain name, it ended up with ".com".
Now that I think of it, my second problem is my screwy setup, so I won't
mention it.
I mentioned yesterday, or the day before, a patch for perlre.pod to remove
confusion about backreferences. The line numbers may be off (this is
against 5.001n), but this should be an improvement:
