Re: Upgrade to 5.18 causes uninitialized ${^MATCH}

I can reproduce it with the following code, which works in 5.16.x and broke in 5.18.0:

my $pat = qr/a/;
'aaaa'  =~ /$pat/gp or die;
print "MATCH=[${^MATCH}]\n";

Given that it was probably me who broke it, looks like I'll have to get it fixed for 5.18.1.

It appears to depend on `qr`. `my $pat = qr/a/p; 'aaaa' =~ /$pat/g or die; print "MATCH=[${^MATCH}]\n";` [download] Appears to work OK on 5.18.0.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Yes, I overlooked the fact that $pat in my original example was pre-compiled with qr//.	[reply]
