new Perl5Util().match(/[[:alpha:]]/, a) = false

2001-06-12 Thread Adam Shackleford 

The expression:

new Perl5Util().match(/[[:alpha:]]/, a)

returns false with ORO 2.0.3, whereas: 

new Perl5Util().match(/[[:alnum:]]/, a)

returns true. I hope this isn't another newbie mistake...

thanks,

adam

No. You found a bug.  Perl5Matcher doesn't have any code in there for
handling OpCode._ALPHA.  I don't know if this was an oversight by
Takashi when he submitted the POSIX character class patch, or if it
was an oversight on my part when I changed some things around in it.
Doesn't matter, I just fixed it if you want to check out the latest
version of the source from CVS.
