  • Hi,

    the following one-liner brings perl 5.10.0/Win32 to crash:

    perl -e "use namespace::clean; fork;"

    *) it is not an issue with perl 5.8.9/Win32

    *) it is not specific to strawberry 5.10.0.6 July/09 (the same bug exists in all previous 5.10.0.*)

    *) perls 5.10.0 for Linux/Cygwin do not suffer from this bug

    *) I have investigated this bug a little bit and sent a couple of RTs:

    RT - Perl::Dist::Strawberry
    https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=45726 [cpan.org]

    RT - Variable::Magic
    https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=4654 [cpan.org]

    • Tell you what - they're working on 5.10.1, and I've got a Strawberry-like build process that works for it.

      I'll check if the bug still exists in the 5.10.1 snapshots with the command line you gave and let them know, but it may take a few days.
