Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: regex - perl syntax affects what gets matched Initial Comment: Hi, I'm trying to move from 1.32 to 1.33 (I need unicode), and it seems that 'what gets matched' have changed: it no longer matches the left-most longest match, but the first BFS of the expression. Ok. It is documented. But how do I pass that? The only way I found around it is using regex::no_perl_ex, but: 1. The change of 'what gets matched' is not documented (or I didn't find it), and therefore I'm not sure it does what I think it does. 2. There is no 'lookahead' anymore, and I need it. Is there a way to tell a perl regex to match the left- most longest? or is there another workaround?
