Howdy, perldoc perlre on 5.8.0 says that [:ascii:] should match any ascii character and [:^ascii:] is the negate version.
If I do =~m/[:^ascii:]/ or [:ascii:] on astring that is 'hi' it returns true each way, so I believe it says the [] are part of [::] conbstruct which I think means you have to have[[:class:]] Now [^[:ascii:]] and [[:ascii:]] behave as you'd expect so I think that's all correct ( Please tell me if I'm wrong) SO my question is: Which is faster/better/more portable/compliant etc.... [^[:ascii:] or [[:^ascii:]] ?? TIA Dan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
