Re^4: Is there a hard limit on + in a regex?

in thread Is there a hard limit on + in a regex?

Yes, I'm reasonably sure. The only difference is that in XML::Validator::Schema the regex is built into a string and then compiled with qr//. But even that works from the command line:

   $ perl -e '$s = join("", (("<object>") x 160_000)); $re = qr/^(?:<o
+bject>)+$/; print "ok\n" if $s =~ /$re/;'
   ok

Why don't you show us the regexp and perhaps the regexp as dumped by `perl -Mre=debug`? That's what will really tell you what is going on.	[reply] [d/l]
