ActiveState Perl Bug 1 - "-d `:" crash (bug 81062)


ActivePerl is a Windows port of perl by ActiveState.

It crashes on doing a "-d" directory check on the bogus directory of "`:"

Filed at ActiveState as bug 81062

Try this at a command prompt:

Z:> perl -le "print 'found' if -d '~:';"
Or just run this as a perl script:
print "found\n"
	if -d '~:';
Perl will crash with:

"Perl Command Line Interpreter has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
