Sorry about the lack of response to this. > Perl does not consider � and � (characters 171 and 187 in ISO-8859-1) > bracketing quotes in regular expressions, thus you can't do 's�foo��bar�'. Allowing non-ASCII paired brackets seems to me like a can of worms best unopened. I'm sure the Unicode table has plenty of surprising bracket pairs. The 'Gory details of parsing quoted constructs' in perlre.pod explicitly lists all the bracketing punctuations, so this is working as designed. I don't see much chance for (or point in) getting this implemented, but please push it upstream yourself if you care. -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
