Re^2: die in regexp

Uh, his example is not inside a re_eval, is it? I assume that by that you mean (?{...}) and similar constructs inside the regex. (perldebguts talks about "code assertions in regexes", but that's about all I could find about them.)

The right hand side of a substitution is not inside the regex.

This piece of code doesn't mention "re_eval" in its error message:

s/foo/die/e;
[download]

It just says

Died at test.pl line 3.
[download]

I believe die is safe, there.
