Fixed in patch 24.
I've also changed the "standard" location from /bin/perl to /usr/bin/perl.
And I've done as I threatened earlier and added the unary operators:
-r File is readable by effective uid.
-w File is writeable by effective uid.
-x File is executable by effective uid.
-o File is owned by effective uid.
-R File is readable by real uid.
-W File is writeable by real uid.
-X File is executable by real uid.
-O File is owned by real uid.
-e File exists.
-z File has zero size.
-s File has non-zero size.
-f File is a plain file.
-d File is a directory.
-l File is a symbolic link.
Ambiguous things like $abc-exp($def) should survive--the lexer only returns
a file test if the following character is non-alphabetic. I just hope you
guys haven't been writing $abc-s/foo/bar/. :-)
And there's symlink(), for those that can support it.
Sorry, no glob yet. Haven't figured out the best way to do it.
