(We use $^X in these examples because it's tainted by default.) =head1 DESCRIPTION =head2 'taint' mode When C is in effect, and a tainted string is the target of a regexp, the regexp memories (or values returned by the m// operator in list context) are tainted. This feature is useful when regexp operations on tainted data aren't meant to extract safe substrings, but to perform other transformations. =head2 'eval' mode When C is in effect, a regexp is allowed to contain C<(?{ ... })> zero-width assertions and C<(??{ ... })> postponed subexpressions, even if the regular expression contains variable interpolation. That is normally disallowed, since it is a potential security risk. Note that this pragma is ignored when the regular expression is obtained from tainted data, i.e. evaluation is always disallowed with tainted regular expressions. See L and L. For the purpose of this pragma, interpolation of precompiled regular expressions (i.e., the result of C) is I considered variable interpolation. Thus: /foo${pat}bar/ I allowed if $pat is a precompiled regular expression, even if $pat contains C<(?{ ... })> assertions or C<(??{ ... })> subexpressions. =head2 '/flags' mode When C is specified, the given flags are automatically added to every regular expression till the end of the lexical scope. C will turn off the effect of C for the given flags. For example, if you want all your regular expressions to have /msx on by default, simply put use re '/msx'; at the top of your code. The character set /adul flags cancel each other out. So, in this example, use re "/u"; "ss" =~ /\xdf/; use re "/d"; "ss" =~ /\xdf/; the second C does an implicit C. Turning on one of the character set flags with C takes precedence over the C pragma and the 'unicode_strings' C, for regular expressions. Turning off one of these flags when it is active reverts to the behaviour specified by whatever other pragmata are in scope. For example: use feature "unicode_strings"; no re "/u"; # does nothing use re "/l"; no re "/l"; # reverts to unicode_strings behaviour =head2 'debug' mode When C is in effect, perl emits debugging messages when compiling and using regular expressions. The output is the same as that obtained by running a C<-DDEBUGGING>-enabled perl interpreter with the B<-Dr> switch. It may be quite voluminous depending on the complexity of the match. Using C instead of C enables a form of output that can be used to get a colorful display on terminals that understand termcap color sequences. Set C<$ENV{PERL_RE_TC}> to a comma-separated list of C properties to use for highlighting strings on/off, pre-point part on/off. See L for additional info. As of 5.9.5 the directive C and its equivalents are lexically scoped, as the other directives are. However they have both compile-time and run-time effects. See L. =head2 'Debug' mode Similarly C produces debugging output, the difference being that it allows the fine tuning of what debugging output will be emitted. Options are divided into three groups, those related to compilation, those related to execution and those related to special purposes. The options are as follows: =over 4 =item Compile related options =over 4 =item COMPILE Turns on all compile related debug options. =item PARSE Turns on debug output related to the process of parsing the pattern. =item OPTIMISE Enables output related to the optimisation phase of compilation. =item TRIEC Detailed info about trie compilation. =item DUMP Dump the final program out after it is compiled and optimised. =back =item Execute related options =over 4 =item EXECUTE Turns on all execute related debug options. =item MATCH Turns on debugging of the main matching loop. =item TRIEE Extra debugging of how tries execute. =item INTUIT Enable debugging of start point optimisations. =back =item Extra debugging options =over 4 =item EXTRA Turns on all "extra" debugging options. =item BUFFERS Enable debugging the capture group storage during match. Warning, this can potentially produce extremely large output. =item TRIEM Enable enhanced TRIE debugging. Enhances both TRIEE and TRIEC. =item STATE Enable debugging of states in the engine. =item STACK Enable debugging of the recursion stack in the engine. Enabling or disabling this option automatically does the same for debugging states as well. This output from this can be quite large. =item OPTIMISEM Enable enhanced optimisation debugging and start point optimisations. Probably not useful except when debugging the regexp engine itself. =item OFFSETS Dump offset information. This can be used to see how regops correlate to the pattern. Output format is NODENUM:POSITION[LENGTH] Where 1 is the position of the first char in the string. Note that position can be 0, or larger than the actual length of the pattern, likewise length can be zero. =item OFFSETSDBG Enable debugging of offsets information. This emits copious amounts of trace information and doesn't mesh well with other debug options. Almost definitely only useful to people hacking on the offsets part of the debug engine. =back =item Other useful flags These are useful shortcuts to save on the typing. =over 4 =item ALL Enable all options at once except OFFSETS, OFFSETSDBG and BUFFERS =item All Enable DUMP and all execute options. Equivalent to: use re 'debug'; =item MORE =item More Enable TRIEM and all execute compile and execute options. =back =back As of 5.9.5 the directive C and its equivalents are lexically scoped, as the other directives are. However they have both compile-time and run-time effects. =head2 Exportable Functions As of perl 5.9.5 're' debug contains a number of utility functions that may be optionally exported into the caller's namespace. They are listed below. =over 4 =item is_regexp($ref) Returns true if the argument is a compiled regular expression as returned by C, false if it is not. This function will not be confused by overloading or blessing. In internals terms, this extracts the regexp pointer out of the PERL_MAGIC_qr structure so it cannot be fooled. =item regexp_pattern($ref) If the argument is a compiled regular expression as returned by C, then this function returns the pattern. In list context it returns a two element list, the first element containing the pattern and the second containing the modifiers used when the pattern was compiled. my ($pat, $mods) = regexp_pattern($ref); In scalar context it returns the same as perl would when stringifying a raw C with the same pattern inside. If the argument is not a compiled reference then this routine returns false but defined in scalar context, and the empty list in list context. Thus the following if (regexp_pattern($ref) eq '(?^i:foo)') will be warning free regardless of what $ref actually is. Like C this function will not be confused by overloading or blessing of the object. =item regmust($ref) If the argument is a compiled regular expression as returned by C, then this function returns what the optimiser considers to be the longest anchored fixed string and longest floating fixed string in the pattern. A I is defined as being a substring that must appear for the pattern to match. An I is a fixed string that must appear at a particular offset from the beginning of the match. A I is defined as a fixed string that can appear at any point in a range of positions relative to the start of the match. For example, my $qr = qr/here .* there/x; my ($anchored, $floating) = regmust($qr); print "anchored:'$anchored'\nfloating:'$floating'\n"; results in anchored:'here' floating:'there' Because the C is before the C<.*> in the pattern, its position can be determined exactly. That's not true, however, for the C; it could appear at any point after where the anchored string appeared. Perl uses both for its optimisations, prefering the longer, or, if they are equal, the floating. B This may not necessarily be the definitive longest anchored and floating string. This will be what the optimiser of the Perl that you are using thinks is the longest. If you believe that the result is wrong please report it via the L utility. =item regname($name,$all) Returns the contents of a named buffer of the last successful match. If $all is true, then returns an array ref containing one entry per buffer, otherwise returns the first defined buffer. =item regnames($all) Returns a list of all of the named buffers defined in the last successful match. If $all is true, then it returns all names defined, if not it returns only names which were involved in the match. =item regnames_count() Returns the number of distinct names defined in the pattern used for the last successful match. B this result is always the actual number of distinct named buffers defined, it may not actually match that which is returned by C and related routines when those routines have not been called with the $all parameter set. =back =head1 SEE ALSO L. =cut
