[Bash-completion-devel] perl -x

[hv at crypt.org]

The '-x' flag to perl changes the way it handles the program file you pass
to it.

The file bash-completion/completions/perl:_perl() currently does this:
  -I|-x)
    local IFS=$'\n'
    _compopt_o_filenames
    COMPREPLY=( $( compgen -d $optPrefix $optSuffix -- "$cur" ) )
    return 0
    ;;
I don't understand completion logic, but I suspect -x should simply be
removed from this case, and allowed instead to fall through to the later
"else _filedir". Certainly it doesn't expect a directory argument to
follow it, as -I does.

Hope this helps,
