Since the version of m4 that comes with Solaris likely works with all our .m4
files and there is no way to check the version (no --version, -v, -V, or
anything from what I can tell) I guess we have no choice but to not check the
m4 version.
flex on the other hand we can check. How about this for the new regex (for
reference the old one is $version =~ m/\s([\d\w\.]+)$/m; -- matching a version
at the end of the line):
$version =~ m/\s([\d\.]+\w?)/m;
It works with Apple's flex and still works with glibtoolize, autoconf, and
automake.

Larry,
I just wanted to speak up quickly to be sure nobody used your example to "fix"
the Mac OS problem and thereby break Solaris instead. No personal
attack/affront was intended.

Paul,
1) I wasn't trying to solve the --version issue, only the parsing of the
response.
2) I assumed from the initial e-mail that the broken parser was in a Perl
script. I'm not a Perl person, so I wrote the example regular expression
parser in sed.
These commands were done on my Mac OS X 10.6 system. I have no idea where the
apps came from. I know the sed, at least, does not recognize regular
expressions documented for GNU sed (such as \< \> for begin/end word). Maybe
it is a BSD sed?
I was just trying to illustrate how to fix the broken parsing of Ralph's "flex
--version". Assuming the RE parser I wrote is satisfactory, it would have to
be adapted to fit in the framework, i.e., it has to be portable.

There are STILL problems with this approach as it is TWICE specific to GNU
software:
1) M4 on OpenBSD (maybe others) doesn't support a "--version" flag:
$ m4 --version | sed -n -E -e
'1s/^.*[^A-Za-z0-9_-]?([0-9]+[.][0-9]+[.][0-9]+)[^A-Za-z0-9_-]?.*$/\1/p'
m4: unknown option -- -
usage: m4 [-gPs] [-Dname[=value]] [-d flags] [-I dirname] [-o filename]
[-t macro] [-Uname] [file ...]
2) sed on Solaris (maybe others) doesn't support a "-E" flag:
$ m4 --version | sed -n -E -e
'1s/^.*[^A-Za-z0-9_-]?([0-9]+[.][0-9]+[.][0-9]+)[^A-Za-z0-9_-]?.*$/\1/p'
/bin/sed: illegal option -- E
