One test in this script failed under 5.23.8 due to a change in the way
the die while leaving an eval scope is now handled.
Consider the following code, where leaving an eval scope triggers a call
to STORE to unlocalise a tied scalar, and where STORE raises an exception:
sub TIESCALAR { bless [] }
sub FETCH { 1; }
sub STORE { die "died in store\n" if $_[1] }
tie $s, 'main';
eval {
local $s;
};
warn "caught: [$@]\n";
5.23.7 and earlier die, while 5.23.8 output:
caught: [died in store
]
Similarly, one would expect the behaviour of "reap HERE" to change
in 5.23.8, with an exception raised in the reap handler to now be caught
be the innermost eval.
