Really? Well swear words having word boundaries is what I expect.

well it seems so, why don't you just dump the regex to be sure?

Personally I wouldn't want words like Essex to be flagged. (Or Dickens or zaddick)

> don't work if the word is embedded inside another string? Is there any way to control this behavior? 

After browsing thru the code ...

http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/ABIGAIL/Regexp-Common-2016060801/lib/Regexp/Common/profanity.pm

I saw this

pattern name => [qw (profanity)], create => '(?:\b(?k:' . $profanity . + ')\b)', ;

So I doubt there is any possible flag to disable the hard coded \b meta character.

But if you really need this feature you could just copy the code into your own subclass and change the pattern to your needs.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
