Re: XML::RegExp doesn't work (Re: Is some string a legal XML Name?)

This looks weird.

XML::RegExp was released way before 5.6.0 though, so it is not that surprising that it does not deal that well with the utf8 pragma. Do you really need it around if you only deal with US ASCII characters?

Incidently the definition of Name includes regular characters:

$Letter    =     "(?:$BaseChar|$Ideographic)";
$NameChar    = "(?:[-._:]|$Letter|$Digit|$CombiningChar|$Extender)";
$Name        = "(?:(?:[:_]|$Letter)$NameChar*)";

I know the $BaseChar includes regular characters. So the byte/char mode thing doesn't explain why it doesn't work at all, when the name to match is pure ASCII. I'm not dealing only with US ASCII. I'm reading UTF-8. This example was a simple case showing it fail. —John	[reply]
