Yes, or take the spaces out, and then dump the /x modifier. If you insist on keeping the original nicely formatted with spaces, then just pump it through s/ //g before passing it to qr (which was my solution). Obviously, this needs a certain amount of care too.

    Yep. I am sure we'll cope :-) Thanks again for spotting this (although, as the raiser of the bug report, I am not surprised it rang a bell :-).

    Glad to have got to the end of this and to have avoided gumming up the works with a duplicate bug report.

    Cheers, Kevin
