This is a bug report for perl from [EMAIL PROTECTED], generated with the help of perlbug 1.35 running under perl v5.8.7. ----------------------------------------------------------------- [Please enter your report here] The LAST_REGEXP_CODE_RESULT ($^R) variable appears to not be set in regexp matches involving a backreference. In the example below, if you uncomment one of the two commented regexps and comment the '(foo|bar)\1+' regexp, $^R will be properly set. #! perl -w # $^R undefined on matches involving backreferences use strict; print $^R, "\n" if 'x foofoo y' =~ m{ # (foo) # $^R correctly set # (?:foo|bar)+ # $^R correctly set (foo|bar)\1+ # $^R undefined (?{ warn "Matched", defined $^N? " <$^N>":"", " and \$^R is about to be set to:\n"; "last regexp code result" }) }x Hope that helps, Dan Dascalescu [Please do not change anything below this line] ----------------------------------------------------------------- --- Flags: category=core severity=low --- Site configuration information for perl v5.8.7: Configured by builder at Mon Jun 6 13:36:05 2005.
