it is indeed in my /var/db/pkg/perl-5.8.3/+CONTENTS

Now the question is how it got there. I have reinstalled perl a few times
today (to make sure), the file is from the time of the last reinstall, the
pkgsrc is from last Saturday.
Could it be a problem in pkgsrc/lang/perl5/module.mk?


After a bit of trying around I found:

lorenz 82% /usr/local/bin/sed -e "s,xx, 2>/dev/null || \${TRUE},"
gregregre
gregregre
fewxxgr
few 2>/dev/null ||      ruegr

lorenz 84% /usr/local/bin/sed --version

lorenz 85% echo $TRUE
true

or shorter:

lorenz 86% /usr/local/bin/sed -e "s,xx,\${TRUE},"
gfregreg
gfregreg
xx
        rue
vds
vds

lorenz 87% /usr/local/bin/sed -e "s,xx,${TRUE},"
fdgrgreg
fdgrgreg
xx
true
egreg
egreg

could it be that the backslash is the fault, that it is too much?

Why does it exist in pkgsrc/lang/perl5/module.mk?
