This is a bug report for perl from victor.adam@derpymail.org,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.40 running under perl 5.23.4.


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

How to reproduce
----------------

> perl5.23.4 -e '/(?-p)/p; print defined for ${^MATCH}, ${^PREMATCH}, ${^POSTMATCH}'

Expected behavior
-----------------

Perl should die with the following diagnostic:

> Regexp modifier "p" may not appear after the "-" in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/(?-p <-- HERE )/ at -e line 1.

Actual behavior
---------------

Perl terminates normally and prints:

> 111

The ${^MATCH} variables get defined, which proves that /p is still in effect.
This shows that (?-p) is completely ignored. This also goes against the
documentation, which says that only i, m, s and x can go on the right side of
the minus sign.
