I discuvered a bug in one of my script when I install AS Perl5.6 Build 613.
The following example reproduces the problem:
--------------------------------------
$s='tmp\yir\pir';
$p='\\p';
$y='\\y';
$s =~ s/$y//;
print "s=$s\n";
$s =~ s/$p//;
print "s=$s\n";
-----------------------------------------
The first substitution workd, and the second generates the error message:
"Can't find unicode character property definition via main->AAA0001 or AAA0001.pl at
unicode/Is/AAA0001.pl line 0"
I had placed the two backslashes in the assignment realizing that the assignment
would eat one of them. I had not realized that the variable interpolation in the
regular expression
would eat the other. The solution was to make the assignment look like:
$p='\\\\p';
What I don't understand is why the run time error for the '\p'? '\p' is not a regular
expression
meta character, so it should have just looked for a 'p'?
