Re^3: Get regexp modifiers

I think ref($check_re) ne 'Regexp' can fail in modern Perls.

Could you explain that? (Or post a link to the relevant documentation?)

"sufficiently modern" appears to mean ≥5.12 in this case Thanks. So it's a problem with the bleeding edge and not with stable and vintage versions, and I still have a lot of time until that problem may bite me.

5.12 is a stable version. It just doesn't exist yet. Testing was done with something newer than 5.11.3, but this is something that isn't going to change.	[reply]
