Rob,
I have 5.20.1 with COW turned off. When recompiled with COW turned
on, then it keeps the value, as you found. Below are the configure
arguments that creates the error. Agree its an error? I turn COW off to
avoid the problems discussed earlier, and will stay with the latest perl
that allows turning COW off.
I am not generally constrained by perl, the few annoyances being:
inability to reclaim memory, to uninstall a module and have warnings
for all unused variables. And then COW and now this.
