in reply to strange behavior of JSON parsing guru regex

Hi,

"...my need is to strive to have the minimum if no external dependency but standard distribution packages..."

"...OSX (10.13 / 5.22.0 & 5.28.0) while it is working well on Linux with same 5.22.0..."

FWIW: 

$ corelist JSON::PP

Data for 2019-11-10
JSON::PP was first released with perl v5.13.9

[download]

Hope this helps!


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

    Thanks for your suggestion, I used 5.12.0 for a long time and was not aware that JSON::PP was incorporated in 5.13.
    While I mention 5.22 in my tests, one of the targeted platforms, where I have no possibility to use non-core packages has a system Perl of 5.16.3. So it could work. (Of course I could cheat with carton, but as the script could be run if needed on any of thousands of hosts without being installed at first it becomes teddious to deploy some local dependencies prior to run the script.)

    BUT: my initial goal is to understand the cause of the unexpected behavior. ;o)
