Re: Using regexes inside of (?{})

I'm fairly certian it's a known WONTFIX bug that the perl5 regex engine is non-reentrent. (IE it's considered unfixable without a near complete rewrite.) The perl6 one is being written from scrach, and explicitly will be, but it may or may not be retrofitable.

Thanks for confirming that. It's just not documented perlre that the engine isn't reentrant. `__SIG__ use B; printf "You are here %08x\n", unpack "L!", unpack "P4", pack "L!", B::svref_2object(sub{})->OUTSIDE;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
