Hi Raphael, et al. I've been also working on trying to produce a fix for this issue, but I was stuck with dealing with zero-width matches, which are quite tricky to handle. I just tried and your patch doesn't handle this, take for example s/()/./g:
$ perl -MPET::Watch -e '$r = shift; $s = shift; PET::Watch::safe_replace($s, $r); print "$s\n"' 's/()/./g' foo foo $ perl -e '$r = shift; $s = shift; eval "\$s =~ $r"; print "$s\n"' 's/()/./g' foo .f.o.o. I know this is a corner case, but it's quite a deviation from the standard behaviour of regexes. -- Martín Ferrari -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
