Re^3: Empty qr// fails to match -- Is this known bug? (bug)

I don't see why the stringified representation of a Regex would be given any importance here. To me, the whole point of compiled Regexes is that they are not string Scalars.

Globals suck.

Be well,

It's still inconsistent. `/$T$U/`, which is also empty (if you ignore the stringified representation), doesn't act like an empty `//`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
