This is a bug report for perl from ikegami@adaelis.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.36 running under perl 5.10.0.

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


A regression was introduced into 5.10.0 concerning /g and zero-width
patterns. The demo speaks for itself:

>c:\progs\perl589\bin\perl -wle"print for 'abc ' =~ /(?=(\S+))/g"
abc
bc
c

>c:\progs\perl5100\bin\perl -wle"print for 'abc ' =~ /(?=(\S+))/g"
abc

I expect the 5.8 behaviour. 5.6.x and 5.8.x behave like 5.8.9. I've been
told 5.10.1-RC1 behaves like 5.10.0. I don't know about blead.
