[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54202] build fails with Bad file descriptor with perl 5.28.0 installed

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #14, bug #54202 (project octave):

Perl 5.26 is able to do in-place editing on an argument list with 100,000
files with no problem. Much larger than 100,000 and the problem has to do with
the shell argument list length, not a Perl problem.

Perl 5.28 seems to only be able to do in-place editing on up to 1019 files
(1024, minus three standard file descriptors, minus a couple more for
something internal).

This seems like a regression in Perl's in-place editing feature.
