in reply to Re^6: regex at word boundary
in thread regex at word boundary

Hrmm....this is what I get:
line 7: (15) "detsen nested" line 8: (0) "i prefer pi" (2) "prefer pi ip referp" (9) "pi ip"
That seems to be correct. Nothing else shows up in line 7, because "testest" isn't a palindrome (but "testseet" is).

I guess it's helpful if you indicate what you think the output should be, so I can short circuit this back and forth :)

Changing line 7 to this:

nested testset detsen nested
I get this:
line 7: (0) "nested testset detsen" (7) "testset" (15) "detsen nested"
What did you expect on the 2 lines you added?

    I'll get what you get, I strongly suspect, when I'm not on a v5.6.1 Perl implementation. So your stuff does work with sufficiently current Perl.

    I'll rerun the speed comparison when I'm home and have access to v5.8
