# New Ticket Created by Kevin Goess # Please include the string: [perl #129277] # in the subject line of all future correspondence about this issue. # <URL: https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=129277 > This is a bug report for perl from cpan@goess.org, generated with the help of perlbug 1.40 running under perl 5.25.5. ----------------------------------------------------------------- [Please describe your issue here] I'm suggesting a documentation change. perlrecharclass says "Most characters that are meta characters in regular expressions...lose their special meaning and can be used inside a character class without the need to escape them" and goes on to list the ones that do need to be escaped. It does *not* list a '$'. But this will not match a dollar sign or a comma: [$,] and it would be good advice to point out that a '$' is as special inside a character class as it is anywhere else in a regular expression. [Please do not change anything below this line] ----------------------------------------------------------------- --- [documentation-irrelevant systems information elided for security paranoia]Thread Previous | Thread Next
