>Description:
perl 5.42.0 crashes compiling certain programs. I've included a patch, which is simply to apply upstream git commit 96673a4bb36.

See upstream bug report: https://github.com/perl/perl5/issues/23405

I also reported on the pkgsrc-users mailing list; start of thread: https://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-users/2025/10/15/msg042082.html

>How-To-Repeat:
Run this command: perl -E 'for my($x,$y)($a->foo){}'
Result: Segmentation fault (core dumped)

After the patch, there is no segfault; instead perl (correctly) complains by outputting:
   Can't call method "foo" on an undefined value at -e line 1.
>Fix:
This patch to pkgsrc fixes it for me. (Applied atop commit ac347f1c6531de16c74bc2743dcf25610cccd465 from the git mirror)

(Sorry, I didn't follow the documented convention of naming the patch after the modified file, because it made more sense to me to keep the patch as one file.)

+Fix a segfault when compiling a 2-var for loop over builtin::indexed.
+
+This is upstream git commit 96673a4bb36, with the following commit
+message:
+ 
+ newFOROP: fix crash when optimizing 2-var for over builtin::indexed
+ 
+ OP_ENTERSUB isn't necessarily a LISTOP, apparently, so we can't just
+ grab its op_last. Instead, copy/paste logic from elsewhere in op.c to
+ find the cvop.
+ 
+ Also, avoid crashing on "fake" pad entries that represent lexical subs
+ from outer scopes by climbing up the scope chain until we reach a real
+ pad entry.
+ 
+ Fixes #23405.
