Errata#
This chapter records places where the canonical Perl 5 documentation is wrong, ambiguous, or stale, together with what each PetaPerl runtime actually does. Each entry has the same shape:
Upstream wording - the relevant text from the official
perl5-upstream/pod/source, quoted verbatim.Correction - what the documentation should say, established from upstream’s own C source and from empirical probing.
pperl behavior - what
pperldoes. Where this differs from upstream perl5, the divergence is flagged and tracked.
The goal of this chapter is operational, not editorial: if a user hits surprising behavior around one of these topics, they should find an answer here and know which runtime they are running.
