I traced this problem down from op.sprintf into the %c function in
sprintf. Anyone else having this problem????
script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$x = sprintf("%c",65);
if ($x eq 'A') {print "ok 1\n";}
else {print "not ok 1 '$x'\n";}
for ($i=0;$i<length($x);$i++) {
$y = substr($x,$i,1);
printf("\t" . '%2d("%s") ',ord($y),$y);
}
print "\n";
output:
not ok 1 'A'
0("") 0("") 0("") 0("") 0("")
. . . [several more lines of nulls] . . .
0("") 0("") 0("") 0("") 0("")
65("A")
---------- ALSO -----------
As a side note I'm also having problems with op.stat:
if (-l 'perl') {print "ok 25\n";} else {print "not ok 25\n";}
