[EMAIL PROTECTED]: # Just read (skimmed) apocalypse 5, had one concern - it looks # like we are on a serious collision course with parsing the # various *mls. # # before: # # m#<a href="a"><img src="sss"><!banner>..etc# # # after # # m#\<a\ href="a"\>\<img\ src="sss"\>\<!banner\>#
That's intentional. What will that regex do with this? <a href="a"><img src='sss'><!banner> That's interpreted the same way, but typed a bit differently. It won't match your regex. The moral of the story is that you should not try to parse the *MLs with regexen--use modules instead. --Brent Dax <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> @roles=map {"Parrot $_"} qw(embedding regexen Configure) Early in the series, Patrick Stewart came up to us and asked how warp drive worked.
