Sorry, I should have been clearer:
Note the placement of the '+' in my pattern, somewhere
in the middle, there it doesn't cause any problem:
if (char =~ '\m[;|<>?:[EMAIL PROTECTED]&*(){}\\_+-[\]/\"]'

The erroneous (in my judgement) patterns are (e.g.) are these:
if (char =~ '\m[;|<>?:[EMAIL PROTECTED]&*(){}\\_-[\]/\"+]')
if (char =~ '\m[;|<>?:[EMAIL PROTECTED]&*(){}\\_-[\]/\"\+]')
So the question is why is it OK to have '+' in the middle
and not at the end?
