I have a problem with a rule on a newly installed relay on which --lint throws a warning on an old local rule, squawking about "Variable length lookbehind not implemented". I simplified the rule trying to discover the problem and it seems to be with the /i modifier:
This rule does _not_ provoke the warning: /(?<!Best )\bRegards,/ while this does, /(?<!Best )\bRegards,/i warn: config: invalid regexp for rule MY_CLOSE: /(?<!Best )\bRegards,/i: Variable length lookbehind not implemented in regex m/(?i)(?<!Best )\bRegards,/ This is with perl 5.18.1 (openSUSE 13.1) On other boxes - with perl 5.10.0 and perl 5.16.2 - there is no problem and I fail to see that there is any variable length in either regex. Writing the rule like so with an apparently useless /i modifier allows the regex to pass the lint check: /(?<![Bb][Ee][Ss][Tt] )\b[Rr][Ee][Gg][Aa][Rr][Dd][Ss],/i Can somebody tell me what the problem might be? Thanks! -- Mike G.
