I don't know why you crossed out "compiles".

>perl -Mre=debug -e"qr/a/"
Compiling REx "a"
Final program:
   1: EXACT <a> (3)
   3: END (0)
anchored "a" at 0 (checking anchored isall) minlen 1
Freeing REx: "a"

I don't know why you crossed out "compiles". Because the docs I quoted used the term 'normalises'. Can they be both compiled and normalised? Can they be normalised and not compiled or vice versa?

Can they be both compiled and normalised? Yes. I didn't mean to imply what you said was wrong. Can they be normalised and not compiled or vice versa? No. `qr//` always compiles. `qr//` always returns the regex flags when used as as string.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
