* Revert the parts of #3926 that outlawed character rangesJarkko Hietaniemi1999-10-121-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | that have character classes such as \w as either endpoint. This change re-establishes the old behavior which meant that such ranges weren't really ranges, the "-" was literal. Moreover, this change also fixes the old behavior to be more consistent: [\w-.] and [\s-\w] worked, but [.-\w] didn't. Now they all do work as described above. The #3926 outlawed all of those. p4raw-id: //depot/cfgperl@4355

* The description of the \Q metacharacter is confusing to novicesAndrew M. Langmead1997-09-051-10/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The perlre man page talks about "quoting" metacharacters. This may not be the easiest terminology for novice perl programmers to understand. Also this man page seems to downplay the utility of the quotemeta() function and \Q escape sequence compared to the older idiom of s/(\W)/\\$1/g Maybe text similar to the changes below would be clearer. p5p-msgid: 199708101946.AA06339@world.std.com

Originally >the problem was seen on Linux running the same version of Perl. Thanks Ulrich. You're right. While all UNIX-descended regular expression packages work pretty much the same way in respect how you make "-" a member of a character class, neither the documentation delivered with Perl nor the book "Programming Perl" tells you what to do, and they should. Here's a patch to apply to the perlre.pod documentation file: p5p-msgid: v03102804afd578bcef2c@[194.51.248.88]
