I have a case where adding a space in a place where it's
not supposed to matter makes a program work.

wgroleau$ diff ~/bin/GEDCOM_DB ./tempGCDB
1c1
< #!/usr/bin/perl -w -CSD
---
> #!/usr/bin/perl -w -CSD

od -xc revealed that the extra space is indeed a (hex 20)
regular space and not a UTF-8 construct.

Without the extra space, it refuses to run on v5.8.0 built for
alpha-netbsd 1.6.2_STABLE and it crashes (segmentation fault/bus error)
on perl, v5.8.1-RC3 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level 7.7.0

Please don put your entire question in the subject line.

Use perlbug to report perl bugs (shocking, I know).

Unless you are the one trying to fix it, more details
than you want were in another thread.

Thanks. Appeared to work (no error message).

Is there an auto-reply to show that it actually arrived?

You are expected to check the Perl FAQ *before* posting
to the Perl newsgroup you know.

perldoc -q bug

Where do I send bug reports?
