Re: /s and /m don't seem to be doing anything

None of your tests included any of the .$^ meta characters, so how do you want to see any effect?

According to the 5.8 docs $*=0 is just the default without /m or /s. Someone was just playing safe...

So no need to migrate! :)

HTH!

I checked the code and true there is one $ in line 4 which I oversaw. Mea culpa! Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :)}	[reply]
