Hi Dave, In https://github.com/Perl/perl5/commit/7fadf4a7d2f1ec5af858f49a8493aacdee541a8b you moved re_intuit_start() into regexec_flags(), and I think there are some issues to resolve from it. It does make sense, but it doesnt seem to play well with \G. https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/18566 Maybe you could take a look? Thanks to tux and alh and company on #p5p for bringing this to my attention. Cheers, Yves -- perl -Mre=debug -e "/just|another|perl|hacker/"Thread Next
