Larry said that he saw no reason for Perl to right now quote things that couldn't be metacharacters, and that we might at most want to put in a small note saying how if Perl ever decides to grab up more characters for metas, that quotemeta would also quote those. He didn't think it likely considering how long we've survived without more, but recognized that Pattern_Syntax *is* there for a reason. In other words, quotemeta will do what it needs to, *when* it needs to. Is that too loose? I think when I communicated with you it was unclear whether that meant >127 or >255. I never found out who made 128-255 get quoted, or when. Has anyone asked Jarkko? --tomThread Previous | Thread Next
