IIRC, demerphq has rewritten a substantial portion of the the regex system. If there are any bugs in it, they're likely new and different ones instead of the ones in earlier perls.
Well roughly speaking, I ripped the guts of the run-time engine into lots of little pieces and stuck them back together in such a way that it's no longer recursive and has a single unified backtrack stack, while demerphq added lots of new exciting features and fixed lots of bugs. But large chunks of the original code remain untouched by either of us and so still have any original bugs lurking within.

Dave.

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.
