in reply to regex with capture groups and branch reset crashes perl

I tried this on a few versions.

These passed (OS X, MacPorts):

  • 5.16.3
  • 5.18.4
  • 5.20.3
  • 5.22.0
These also passed (CentOS):
  • 5.14.4
  • 5.16.3
These failed:
  • 5.10.1 on CentOS 6 (stopped at 4, no crash though)
  • 5.8.8 on CentOS 5 (got confused by '(?|' syntax and threw an error)

This really seems to be something caused by an older version as others have said. I would recommend updating to a newer version and testing.

    The '(?|' syntax was only introduced with Perl version 5.10.
