This is a bug report for perl from zefram@fysh.org,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.40 running under perl 5.19.10.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please describe your issue here]

$ perl5.19.10 -lwe 'print "wibble" =~ /\Awibble\z/m ? "yes" : "no"'
no
$ perl5.19.9 -lwe 'print "wibble" =~ /\Awibble\z/m ? "yes" : "no"'
yes

Obviously a regression.  Regexp matches correctly if /m is omitted,
or if either anchor is omitted, or if any of the letters "ble" in the
pattern are replaced with dots.  But replacing "wib" with dots keeps it
falsely non-matching.

This breaks the pod-coverage test for TheSchwartz, which builds up a bunch
of patterns like this to describe exceptions to the coverage requirement.
