# New Ticket Created by Jonathan Pool # Please include the string: [perl #80030] # in the subject line of all future correspondence about this issue. # <URL: http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=80030 > The attached script unibug.pl, which reads from the attached file unibug.txt, demonstrates a problem in Perl 5.10.0 which Karl Williamson says is still present in 5.13.7. It matches the input line against 7 regular-expression patterns, 1-7. Patterns 3 and 7 should fail to match; the others should match. However: With "use utf8", pattern 3 matches instead of failing. With "use encoding 'utf8'" (or with both pragmas), pattern 3 matches instead of failing, and patterns 4, 5, and 6 fail instead of matching. Karl Williamson has provided two additional files for demonstrating this problem: nobreak_utf8.pl and nobreak_latin1.pl.Thread Previous | Thread Next
