Re: Weird quoting with /x modifier

I get the same results with perl 5.10.0. In perl 5.8.8, the results are different:

$b matches $test
$a = (?x-ism:Hello\#\ World\\E
)
$b = (?x-ism:Hello\#\ World
)

Seems like a bug to me. What is the code's behaviour in 5.12?

If nobody explained such behavior yet, maybe it turns out to be a bug. Despite different representation of compiled regular expression in 5.8.8 (the only difference is newline), the problem is the same: \E is quoted instead of been interpreted as closing end of \Q. Thank you for your answer!	[reply]
