Re: Regex Testing

You could use the re pragma:

use re 'debug';

It'll give you more information than you ever wanted, AND it's built-in. :)

For what it's worth, the perldebguts manpage includes the details on the debugger's compile- and run-time outputs. You'll want to read it.

Cool! I have always been stumped by RE's that didn't work for some stupid tyop. This pragma help me find the problem in seconds!!! There is another flavor:

use re 'debugcolor';

It throws in some bolding and reverse video to enhance the display.
