This happened because coresubs use leavesublv, to avoid copying the
return value wastefully.

But since this is exactly the same ucfirst op being called each time
(the one in &CORE::ucfirst’s op tree), and since ucfirst uses TARG, we
end up with the same scalar.

We have the same problem with lvalue subs:

$ ./perl -Ilib -e 'sub UNIVERSAL::ucfirst :lvalue { ucfirst $_[0] } print "just another "->ucfirst, "perl hacker,\n"->ucfirst'

(This is not a regression, as 5.14 gave ‘Can't modify ucfirst in
lvalue subroutine return’.)

So ‘fixing’ coresubs would not be a solution, but a workaround.

The solution therefore is for leavesublv to copy PADTMPs in
rvalue context.

Commit 80422e24c fixed this for potential lvalue list context (i.e.,
for(lvsub()) {...}), but it wasn’t sufficient.

Father Chrysostomos [Sun, 22 Apr 2012 06:28:51 +0000 (23:28 -0700)]
regen/opcodes: Rmv evalonce comment

This goes all the way back to when perl 5.0 was being polished up.
The idea behind evalonce is that eval "constant string" should be
optimisable by being compiled ahead of time, just like eval { ... }.
But this could never work properly, because BEGIN blocks would only
fire once.  Also, eval '$x .. $y' is an easy way to create two separ-
ate flip-flops.  There are undoubtedly many other reasons why this
could never work.

So there is no reason to keep this comment any longer, as it is not
(or should not be) a to-do item.

[perl #112924] [PATCH] Clarify test instructions in INSTALL

While trying to track down a failed test, I found the instructions in
the INSTALL file to be less than optimal.

This patch re-orders the suggestions to put the ones most likely to work
first, clarifies which directory you should be in, and moves a "see-also"
type reference to where it is more likely to be useful.

The catalyst for this was that

    ./perl -MTestInit cpan/Archive-Extract/t/01_Archive-Extract.t

fails because it can't find strict.pm.  (See [perl #1122926].)  Since it's
probably not the only such case, I thought it useful and prudent to
advise using t/harness instead as a first recourse.
