I have created a simple test, which compares results of native
perl s/// (via eval) and proposed template 'replace' vmethod.
After thinking a bit, I understand that trying to recreate perl
s/// behavior in details is a bad idea. I think that reasonable
level of details is simulating perl's $1, $2 etc backreferences,
with possibility to escape $ with backslash, and to escape
backslash itself before $1 (etc). So I throw out \1, \2 tests from
my vmeth_replace.t and added some other tests. You can find it
here: http://martynoff.info/tt2/
Yes, I was just about to fire off an email about how it would be bad
to support \1, \2, etc. If I remember correctly, the perl docs
themselves frown upon that usage, and it's basically only there for
backward compatibility.
Thanks for the test file. I might give it a shot tomorrow.
