Re: copyfail challenge: making Perl version smaller (trillion dollar lolcow)

You need to stop smoking those tokens bro. You did not fail, some robot failed. Confusing yourself with a pseudo-random text generator is a symptom of "AI" psychosis. Go touch grass man, but don't smoke it!

Then go to duck.ai and ask: is /e for regex deprecated in perl?

Claude Haiku 4.5: Yes, the /e modifier for regex substitution is deprecated and removed in modern Perl versions.
gpt-oss 120B: In Perl the `/e (evaluate) regex substitution modifier is not deprecated.
GPT-4o mini: The /e modifier for regex in Perl has been deprecated.
GPT-5 mini: No — Perl's /e (evaluate replacement) modifier is not deprecated; it's documented and still supported. (PHP's preg_replace /e was deprecated/removed, which is often the source of ¸confusion.)
Llama 4 Scout: In Perl, the /e modifier in regex is not exactly deprecated, but its usage has been discouraged since Perl 5.14 (released in 2011) and removed in Perl 5.36 (released in 2022).
Mistral 4 small: In Perl, the /e modifier for regular expression substitutions is not deprecated.

Duck.ai offers unpaid service. The quality of those models is obviously not the same. The vulnerability in question was actually found with AI assistance. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) see Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]
