I was planning to work on it the past two months, but various things in Real Life got in the way, and when one thing finished and I thought I was going to get time, something else came up. I still don’t understand why parse_label is causing problems. Zefram, can you look into that? I’ve begun work on the patches following that. I need to ask Brian Fraser about <https://github.com/Hugmeir/gsoc-pad-utf8-safety/commit/4929775f6218457e97e9c11e8b1fcfce20b6316f>. Unicode delimiters are not going to go into 5.16, so this patch is unnecessary for now, right? I’m attaching the patch here, so it isn’t lost. -- Father Chrysostomos --- via perlbug: queue: perl5 status: new https://rt.perl.org:443/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=107008Thread Previous | Thread Next
