Re^3: [OT - Separator character]: Best Practice: Order of regex modifiers?

... the use of o seems to be discouraged.

I only latched onto /o because I was casting about for something to use in a manufactured example.

AFAIU, the /o modifier is only useful now in those very limited cases in which one wishes to prevent recompilation of a qr// m// s/// even when interpolated Regexp objects or strings have changed. My understanding is that these operators will not now recompile on each execution unless an interpolated regex/string has changed.

Give a man a fish: <%-{-{-{-<

AFAIU, the /o modifier is only useful now Hi, check the link, /o has been useless since about 5.6, the docs really ought to read o - pretend to optimize your code, but actually introduce bugs and perl ought to reject /o outright :) Also, there is no way this thread is off topic, thats some serious lack of caffeine	[reply]
