Title:
  a2p at amd64 has buggy output

Status in perl package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS, amd64
  Package perl 5.18.2-2ubuntu1 amd64

  I tried to use a2p translator to convert simple AWK script to PERL
  script. I see that output is strange, characters are missing or are
  duplicated, I guess it could be related to 64-bit architecture.

  Example of a2p output, fragment:

  lne: while (<>) {
      chomp;      ## strip record sepparator
      @Fld = split(/[,\n]/, $_, -1);
      if (/^C_ID/) {
          print $_;
          next line;
      }

  Notice, label lne is there, not line, notice comment "sepparator".
  This is just an example, a2p creates many similar errors like this,
  other example:

  # crreate translation table
  for ($i = 32; $i < 28; $i++) {
      rintfprintf('%02x', $i)} = sprintf('%c', $i);
  }
  is is heads header, print it

  lie: while (<>>) {
      chomp;      # stip record separator
      @Fld =  split(/[,\n]/, $_, -1);
      if (/^C_ID/) {
          print $_;
          next line;
      }

      if 0-9]0-9]/) {

  My LOCALE:

  $ locale
  LANG=en_US.UTF-8
  LANGUAGE=
  LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
  LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8
  LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8
  LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
  LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8
  LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
  LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8
  LC_NAME=en_US.UTF-8
  LC_ADDRESS=en_US.UTF-8
  LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.UTF-8
  LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8
  LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.UTF-8
  LC_ALL=

  I will attach two AWK scripts and two PERL scripts created with a2p,
  like this: a2p demo.awk > demo_a2p.pl
