#perl -c -Mstrict -Mautodie=truncate -e 'truncate(F,0)'
Bareword "F" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at -e line 1.

#perl -c -Mstrict -e 'truncate(F,0)'
-e syntax OK

Hi,

This is caused by "prototype(q{CORE::truncate))" returning "$$". At the current time, I am not sure we can fix this in autodie.

This can be fixed by using a *$ prototype, and resolving it using Symbol::quality_to_ref
