For Christmas, Santa's given me a heisenbug in 5.8.8. I'm not going to report it, though, as I can't reproduce a minimal test case. From the relevant paragraph:
Trying to reduce that to a minimal test case for a bug report has failed miserably. It appears that any sort of assignment anywhere in the like_xpath code will cause these tests to pass and the mere act of moving the affected files to other directories also appears to make tests pass. Running these tests under the debugger also makes them pass. Printing out any affected variables makes these tests pass. Hell, I suspect that breathing heavy would make these tests pass. http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/38138 It's days like this which *really* make me pine for Ruby.
