"le" is a different matter.) Possible solutions that don't require using weird names: - - Have users use /foo/el or /(?l:foo)/e instead of /foo/le if they want locale semantics. - These new modifiers will require Perl 5.14 to compile, so requiring a "use 5.014;" to use them would not add any restrictions and would sidestep the entire dilemma.Thread Previous | Thread Next
