Laszlo Bodor updated PIG-5368:
------------------------------
Description:
In perl v5.22, using a literal { in a regular expression was deprecated, and
will emit a warning if it isn't escaped: {. In v5.26, this won't just warn,
it'll cause a syntax error.
Example:
[https://github.com/apache/pig/blob/e766b6bf29e610b6312f8447fc008bed6beb4090/test/e2e/pig/tests/cmdline.conf#L47]
local reproduction
perl -e 'print "It matches\n" if "Hello World" =~ /World\{abc}/'
Unescaped left brace in regex is illegal here in regex; marked by <-- HERE in
m/World\{ <-- HERE abc}/ at -e line 1.
perl -e 'print "It matches\n" if "Hello World" =~ /World\\{abc}/'
#runs successfully
