(emacs 21.2)
$gBoundaryTag = $2 if ( $gCurLine m/^(\s+boundary="--)([0-9]+)"$/ );
Under text-mode, the above bounces fine -- leftmost "(" vs rightmost ")".
But not under cperl-mode (try it) -- you'll get the rightmost ")" matching
the 2nd-from-the-left "(".
Just to play around, I removed all double-quotes:
$gBoundaryTag = $2 if ( $gCurLine m/^(\s+boundary=--)([0-9]+)$/ );
, and it worked fine.
Here, I tried wrapping each dquote within a char-class (hoping that
doing so would "hide" it):
$gBoundaryTag = $2 if ( $gCurLine m/^(\s+boundary=["]--)([0-9]+)["]$/ );
, but nope, no such luck. Same (incorrect) matching as in the original.
Mismatching on the paren-bouncing hurts, since I (and everyone else,
I'm sure) like to rely on the paren-bouncing for detecting coding-errors.
Suggestions on how to handle this?
Thanks!
David
