But I agree with Schwern, in that if it's possible to count that there 3, then
it's trivial to list the numbers.

Change 32964 by craigb@craigb-brianor on 2008/01/12 01:01:45

	Don't quote a whitespace-containing ABSPERL when the whitespace
	means it is a command with parameter(s).

but I have no idea what the third change is.

(And, no, it's not actually that easy to work out what the changes are.
You have to do a diff between files in trees that are in two different
layouts, identify what are actual changes, and then use blame annotation to
work out what caused those changes. Possibly digging down through more than
one level of blame annotation)


We ask that bug reports are sent with perlbug, and get grumpy when "vendor"s
don't send us anything back upstream. Schwern is our upstream for MakeMaker,
and requests that we use the RT queue to track things. Either both parties'
requests are reasonable and should be followed, or neither.
