I have no idea what the 'standard' is, but the modifier is not '/c' (I dont recall if I refered to it that way in my first message, but I was being coloquial if so), insofar as the '/' is part of another syntactic structure which does not even require it to be a '/'.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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

There was a thread about this about two weeks ago under the subject "Re: pod2man .IX question (for Solaris bug fix)". Kurt Starsinic posted a patch which didn't get into the 5.004_02 release, probably because it appears to be incorrect (see below). > This is trivially fixed by > moving the .IX to before the .SH: > > .IX Header "NAME" > .SH "NAME" > perlbot \- Bag'o Object Tricks (the BOT) It may need something more complicated, since Kurt wrote :I would like to keep them, if possible, but moving them down a line or two :doesn't solve the problem. Following is a patch which moves all of the .IX :lines to the end of the man page, which (I believe) will appease all :interested parties. This patch DTRT under Solaris 2.5.1/SPARC and OSF1 :V4.0/DEC Alpha, both running perl 5.004 (no patches): I doubt this last assertion, since I noted a couple of suspicious looking bits in the patch (in a subsequent message in the above thread). This is perhaps why Tim didn't include it in 5.004_02. (Also, the patch was for pod2man rather than pod2man.PL.) I attach below Kurt's patch with my corrections. I've checked that this doesn't actually wreck pod2man totally, but I can't test it further since i) I don't know what the .IX is meant to do. ii) I don't actually know what the code is meant to be doing. iii) I don't have a suitable Solaris (etc) system to try on. Perhaps someone else could take this further. Credited: John Redford <jmr@whirlwind.fmr.com> Credited: Kurt Starsinic <kstar@isinet.com> p5p-msgid: E0wxoUZ-0006Ee-00@ursa.cus.cam.ac.uk

This tests fine on my Linux. I hope >I'm not introducing a memory leak or other ailment... That doesn't look quite right to me. When provided a literal, you should point at the actual literal (which normally has a global lifetime), rather than making a mortal copy of it and pointing at that. The mortal copy will be destroyed at the next statement boundary, and you'll be left with a dangling pointer when you unpack(). You're doing the very thing the XXX comment above was intended to highlight. I do agree that literals should be pack('p')-able.

(Sigh, I'm sure it's too late for it to go into > 5.004_01, though.) I think it would be a very bad idea to retrofit this. Having single quotes which don't start quoted strings is a syntactic ambiguity nightmare. Consider soft references such as "stuff${'var'}more stuff". (I presume that's why it had to be removed.) You can avoid this problem, and not extend the lines quite as much, by explicitly including the package name: "stuff${main'var}more stuff" which works compatibly in perl4 and perl5.

There are no changes for Unix platforms over Ilya's version. On DOSISH platforms, the initial check in the current directory (or the actual path to the script, if supplied) includes searching for valid extensions. The fact that -S does not do a PATH search if the supplied filename contains directory separators (on all platforms) is documented. This behavior is similar to Unix and DOS shells. Note -S *does* have an effect on DOSISH platforms even if no PATH search happens: valid extensions will be checked for if the file name is not found. p5p-msgid: 199707250043.UAA02385@aatma.engin.umich.edu
| * -p does not check for failure of implicit printDominic Dunlop1997-08-072-7/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Unlike modern incarnations of, say, awk and sed, perl -p does not check the return status of the implicit print statement executed for each input record. Here's a patch against 5.004_01. ('ware wrapping: there's a long line in it.) There's no test case: I couldn't think up a reliable, portable and polite way of inducing a write error. I think, in the specific case of the implicit print in -p, this is non-controversial, and can go in the maintenance branch. That's not to say that there are not programs using -p out there (probably CGI scripts) which will surprise people by exiting noisily on encountering an error, rather than continuing to do thewrong thing quietly. Does anybody know of any widespread examples? Do we care? More controversial error checking patch for implicit close of <ARGV> to follow in separate bug report. p5p-msgid: v0311070aafea3fa83061@[194.51.248.75]

This illustrates at least three bugs: i) The message is truncated because of the "NUL in argument to die" problem which I reported some time ago (and provided a kludge for in Carp.pm). ii) In any case, it would have produced an incorrect error message. iii) This error and many (most? all?) other parsing errors in regular expressions cause compilation to be terminated. The attached patch fixes (i) and (ii) but not (iii). It also extends the regexp tests to test the error messages generated rather than just note that an error has occurred. Additional points which I'll leave to someone else: a) (iii) needs fixing. b) I note that many regexp error messages are incorrect, as they quote the regexp as /(?/ rather than as (e.g.) m:(?: or s:(?::. c) My understanding of Chip's rework of sprintf was that it now provided a mechanism for including strings with embedded NULs. Could this be used to provide a complete fix for (i) rather than kludging each case as it turns up? d) I strongly suspect that the regexp tests a\ and 'a\'i are not doing what the author intended. I've left them so they say "ok" regardless. (Hint: \' is recognised in a '' string.) p5p-msgid: E0wtbhv-0005Mm-00@ursa.cus.cam.ac.uk
| * Band-aid fix for local([@%]$x)Stephen McCamant1997-08-071-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes the segfaults by extending the prohibition on `local($$x)' to array and hash dereferences and removing the code that never worked. It also adds simple test cases and a `through' to the error message. The new explanation in perldiag isn't terribly clear, but the old one told an untruth. It should be possible to make local([$@%]$x) work by adding a new SAVEt type, and I'd like to do so in the future, but that certainly wouldn't be maintenance patch material. p5p-msgid: m0wsb7J-000EYPC@alias-2.pr.mcs.net

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.
