This is a bug report for perl from andrea@inversepath.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.35 running under perl v5.8.8.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

When using non matching (?: ) regular expression operator with '?' or '*'
conditionals the builtin @- array and $1, $2 matches are incorrectly set,
here's a test case:


#!/usr/bin/perl

$string = 'BDC1B1406D: to=<foo@bar>, orig_to=<bar@foo>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:1002';

$string =~ /.*to=<(.+)>,(?: orig_to=<(.+)>,) relay=(.+)/;

print $1 . "\n";
print $2 . "\n";
print $3 . "\n";

# $1 = foo@bar, $2 = bar@foo, $3 = 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:1002

$string =~ /.*to=<(.+)>,(?: orig_to=<(.+)>,)? relay=(.+)/;

print $1 . "\n";
print $2 . "\n";
print $3 . "\n";

# $1 = bar@foo, $2 = undef, $3 = 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:1002

Clearly in this last case $1 and $2 are wrong, using (?: )* does the same.

This doesn't look like a consistent or expected behaviour to me.

Cheers
