From James.P.Williams@USAHQ.UnitedSpaceAlliance.com

The perlfunc man page provides a sub that illustrates the behavior of the
require operator. The camel book shows a similar version. There is a bug
in
both models of the operator in how the %INC hash is updated. As written,
recursively require'ing the same $filename would cause infinite recursive
calls
to the require sub. This is because %INC is updated only after the
require'd
file is passed to the do operator. The following patch to perlfunc.pod
changes
the model to correctly assume success for the duration of the do operator,
and
agrees with my reading of how require is actually implemented in pp_ctl.c.

Agreed?
