Package: emacs21-common
Version: 21.4a+1-3etch1
Severity: normal
Try entering the following code in a c-perl-mode buffer, with syntax
highlighting on (I use font-lock-mode):
my $seq = 'A' x 200;
$seq =~ s/.{80}/$1\n/g;
The {80} confuses the parser and c-perl-mode thinks the regex is
unbalanced.
For comparison, c-perl-mode in the current Etch xemacs21 package does
*not* have this problem.
Regards,
Tim

Hello,
All of these bugs are assigned to emacs21 which has been removed from
the current versions of Debian several years ago, and thus the bugs
are orphan and nobody is paying attention to them anymore. I'm just
doing some cleanup with the intent to reassign valids bug later to
current packages, but I am not involved in the maintenance of these
packages in any way.
I am closing all of these bugs who are marked as unreproducible or
fixed-upstream or similar, sometimes for many many years and without
any input since then; and also others that don't seem relevant anymore
(e.g. failing to install). I'm trying to verify that they're indeed
properly tagged and addressed when possible.
If you feel that some issue related or included in the bug report is
not properly addressed, please reopen, reassign or report a new bug
against Emacs packages currently present in the archives.
Cheers.
