| | | | | | | | | | | | These have always* had assignment precedence, such that $a = goto $b = $c is equivalent to $a = (goto ($b = $c)) * I haven’t checked before perl 5.

* point out another use for //oDavid Mitchell2012-06-151-0/+12
| | | | | Sometimes patterns with embedded code are recompiled each time even if the pattern string hasn't changed.
* update docs for (?{}) jumbo fixDavid Mitchell2012-06-141-3/+9
| | | | | | Update the docs and add perldelta entries summarising the changes and fixes related to (?{}) and (??{}) accumulated over the 120 or so commits in this branch.
* Require space between regex and following alnum operatorKarl Williamson2012-06-111-8/+0
| | | | Not having such space has been deprecated since v5.14.0.
* fix mode used to open /dev/tty in perlop exampleRicardo Signes2012-04-241-1/+1
| | | | (Thanks for reporting this, Tom Christiansen!)
* Clearify string parsing.abigail/for-5.17Abigail2012-03-231-2/+3
| | | | | | | It was already documented that when scanning for the end of the string, backslashes escaping the closing delimiter are being eliminated; but this is true for backslashes escaping backslashes as well. This makes that C<< '.\.' eq '.\\.' >>. (Pointed out by Mithaldu)

* Add :not_characters parameter to 'use locale'Karl Williamson2012-01-211-2/+4
| | | | | This adds the parameter handling, tests, and documentation for this new feature which allows locale and Unicode to play well with each other.
* perlop: Typos, too long lines, correctionsKarl Williamson2012-01-131-6/+6

* perlop: remove triple-dotFather Chrysostomos2012-01-051-66/+0
| | | | | This has been superseded by c2f1e229, which adds it to perlsyn.
* [perl #90906] Corrections to the previous patchTom Christiansen2012-01-051-13/+13
| | | | | Here is a patch against the first patch, fixing typos reported to me.
* [perl #90906] smartmatch PATCH 1 of 2: perlop.podTom Christiansen2012-01-051-51/+392
| | | | | | | The thrust of this patch is to move the description of the ~~ operator into perlop where it properly belongs; given and when remain relegated to perlsyn. This is also (nearly) the first-ever set of examples for the smartmatch operator. Staggerment.

* Be more precise in the wording of how // works.Abigail2011-09-151-5/+7
| | | | | | | See the discussion starting with mail:9879.1315954489@chthon This rephrasing should avoid people getting the impression // is a source filter, translating 'A // B' into 'defined(A) ? A : B', and reparsing the result.
* perlop: Minor consistency tweakFather Chrysostomos2011-08-261-2/+2
| | | | | Make the indentation in this example match the surrounding examples.
* [perl #93358] Clarify => quotingFather Chrysostomos2011-08-261-2/+11
| | | | | | | The perlop manpage was stating ‘the left operand’, which was not entirely correct, as ‘time.shift =>’ quotes just the shift, not the time (nor does it see the whole as not being an ident- ifier and refuse to quote anything).

* Fix up \cX for 5.14Karl Williamson2011-02-091-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Throughout 5.13 there was temporary code to deprecate and forbid certain values of X following a \c in qq strings. This patch fixes this to the final 5.14 semantics. These are: 1) a utf8 non-ASCII character will croak. This is the same behavior as pre-5.13, but it gives a correct error message, rather than the malformed utf8 message previously. 2) \c{ and \cX where X is above ASCII will generate a deprecated message. The intent is to remove these capabilities in 5.16. The original agreement was to croak on above ASCII, but that does violate our stability policy, so I'm deprecating it instead. 3) A non-deprecated warning is generated for all other \cX; this is the same as throughout the 5.13 series. I did not have the tuits to use \c{} as I had planned in 5.14, but \N{} can be used instead.

* Deprecate ?PATTERN? without explicit m operatorZefram2010-11-241-12/+17
| | | | | | | | | | Deprecate ?PATTERN?, recommending the equivalent m?PATTERN? syntax, in order to eventually allow the question mark to be used in new operators that would currently be ambiguous. (With minor reconciliation edits by David Golden) Signed-off-by: David Golden <dagolden@cpan.org>
