That's equivalent to the Perl /x option, and should not be turned on by default, as it causes pcre to ignore whitespace and Perl-style comments. It has nothing to do with the Perl extensions to Posix regex syntax -- they are always turned on. I do urge you to configure pcre with --enable-utf8 and --enable-unicode-properties so that it will work correctly with the utf8 egg (provided the UTF-8 options are used at pattern compile and pattern exec time). I assume you are providing access to the native interface, not just the Posix-compatible one. -- John Cowan http://ccil.org/~cowan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lope de Vega: "It wonders me I can speak at all.
