in reply to The Perl Regex Tester

When I enter a regex and target string that times out, I get a 404 instead of a proper error message.

It would also be neat to have a more concise summary then the use re 'debug' output of why a regex match fails.

Otherwise neatly done.

    I'll look at possibilities for summarizing match failures. That's a good idea.

    I've noticed the 404 issue in the server logs. I think it's because Safe is interfering with alarm. I'm beginning to think that Safe isn't worth the trouble, but those are probably fatal last words.
