Fwd: [Pkg-zsh-devel] Bug#679824: zsh: Buggy perl completion with -e [origin: vincent@xxxxxxxxxx]

[Axel Beckert <abe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

the following issue (sorry, no patch included this time :-) has been
reported in Debian at https://bugs.debian.org/679824 and is still
present in zsh 5.0.5 (and since Completion/Unix/Command/_perl hasn't
been touched in git HEAD since 2011, likely also in the current git
HEAD):

Subject: [Pkg-zsh-devel] Bug#679824: zsh: Buggy perl completion with -e

Package: zsh
Version: 4.3.17-1
Severity: normal

On

$ perl -pi -e 's/foo/bar/' [TAB]

zsh wants to complete on Perl scripts instead of normal files.
AFAIK, after -e '...', completion should be done on arbitrary
arguments (e.g. like after an unknown command).

[...]
----- End forwarded message -----

		Kind regards, Axel
