Re: $^E bug and perl 5.8.0

[emoy]

For what it's worth, I've been trying out 5.8.2, and I get the same  
value for 5.8.1-RC3 and 5.8.1 final, both the same negative numbers.  I  
am building with the same options as the Panther version  
(darwin-thread-multi-2level); are you?

This appears to be fixed in perl5.8.1, in the RC3 version that ships  
with
Panther:

   $ perl5.8.1 -le '$! = -1728; print $^E+0 for 0,1'
   -1728
   -1728
Bu in a perl 5.8.1 RC1 I built myself:

   $ perl5.8.1 -le '$! = -1728; print $^E+0 for 0,1'
   -1728
   22
And in a fresh build of perl 5.8.2:

   $ perl5.8.2 -le '$! = -1728; print $^E+0 for 0,1'
   -1728
   22
Is this a known issue?  Anyone know if it's been reported, or what the
problem might be?
