I don't think so. It is said that `#` should be backslashed or quoted with `\Q..\E` in perlre. So if `#` actually have higher precedence in regexp with `/x` modifier it is a bug, because it does not work as stated. Second. If `#` had higher precedence than `\Q..\E`, string was just trimmed after the `#` character.	[reply]

If # had higher precedence than \Q..\E, string was just trimmed after the # character. False. "#" doesn't trim anything. `>perl -e"print qr/4d#sd/x" (?x-ism:4d#sd )` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
