It is most simply illustrated with U+017F, the LATIN SMALL LETTER LONG S. It is an alternate font for 's', looking kind of like an 'f'. Things like the USA Declaration of Independence were written using this symbol. According to the notes from Unicode, it is still in current use in Gaelic and Fraktur. Anyway, according to the Unicode standard it should loosely match 's'; Perl equates this type of matching to /i matching. And it mostly does. print __LINE__, " ", ("s" =~ /\x{017F}/i ? "yes" : "no"), "\n"; print __LINE__, " ", ("S" =~ /\x{017F}/i ? "yes" : "no"), "\n"; print __LINE__, " ", ("s" =~ /\x{017F}+/i ? "yes" : "no"), "\n"; print __LINE__, " ", ("s" =~ /\x{017F}{1}/i ?

But, print __LINE__, " ", ("\x{017F}" =~ /s+/i ?

So here's a patch to do that. Win32 note: my_pclose() was saving the result of GetLastError(), but was not using it; in particular it was not calling SetLastError(), which one might have expected it to do. Would a Win32 expert care to weigh in? VMS note: I have no VMS system, and this patch could break something if vaxc$errno doesn't work as documented online and/or I haven't grokked it properly. Some smoke testing would be appropriate.

If I run a test script (t/uni/lower.t) with an unmodified NW.pm, it calls t/uni/case.pl, that, in case.pl, (when the path separators are '\'), the $file is '..\lib\unicore\To\Lower.pl' and the following code portion works, with $simple getting a returned table: sub casetest { my ($base, $spec, $func) = < at >_; my $file = File::Spec->catfile(File::Spec->catdir(File::Spec->updir, "lib", "unicore", "To"), "$base.pl"); my $simple = do $file; If, however, $file is '../lib/unicore/To/Lower.pl' (due to the NW.pm tweak), then the 'do' seems to fail and nothing is returned to the $simple var. Can anyone please advise if this is a bug (i.e 'do' being '\' dependant) or where in the code I might start looking for a way to overcome what may be a NetWare quirk? I did try the bugs database but 'do' is a little non-descriptive. Thanks in advance for any NormW 2008-11-26T23:48:46 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.perl.perl5.porters/64439 One of the assertions I added when solving #38809 fails with "do { return do { 1 } }", i.e. when the inner do block gets reaped at compile time. But there was no bug in this case to begin with, so we can just switch the assertion for a plain test. I added a regression test for this, but also some tests that checks that "do { return do { 1; < at >a }, do { 1; < at >b } }" returns as expected < at >a, < at >b in list context and the length of < at >b in scalar context.
