Package: perl Version: 5.32.1-6 Severity: normal Hi,
First of all, thanks for keeping Perl running on all the Debian architectures! I ran into a problem with a test tool for one of my Debian packages - it would refuse to read a bunch of random bytes from /dev/urandom when running on the Hurd. It turns out that the problem is not specific to /dev/urandom - at least on the exodar.debian.net porterbox right now, the following command fails for /etc/passwd, /tmp/roam.txt, /bin/ls, and /home/roam/foo.c, so it does not seem to depend on file ownership or directory hierarchy. Of course, not being very familiar with the Hurd, I may very well be missing something important here. [roam@exodar ~]$ perl -e 'use v5.10; use strict; use warnings; sysopen my $fh, "/bin/ls", 0 or die "sysopen: $!\n"; say "fd ".fileno $fh; my $data; sysread $fh, $data, 32 or die "sysread: $!\n"; say length $data;' fd 3 sysread: Bad file descriptor [roam@exodar ~]$ I tried comparing the rpctrace output for this command and for a similar Python program, but - again, not being very familiar with the Hurd - there is nothing that immediately caught my eye. Thanks again for all you people do for Perl and Debian in general, and keep up the great work!
