For this reason, all such -characters in testinput1 and testinput3 are escaped so that they can be used -for perltest as well as for pcretest, and the special upper case modifiers such -as /A that pcretest recognizes are not used in these files. The output should -be identical, apart from the initial identifying banner. - -The perltest script can also test UTF-8 features. It works as is for Perl 5.8 -or higher. It recognizes the special modifier /8 that pcretest uses to invoke -UTF-8 functionality. The testinput5 file can be fed to perltest to run UTF-8 -tests. - -For Perl 5.6, perltest won't work unmodified for the UTF-8 tests. You need to -uncomment the "use utf8" lines that it contains. It is best to do this on a -copy of the script, because for non-UTF-8 tests, these lines should remain -commented out. - -The testinput2 and testinput4 files are not suitable for feeding to perltest, -since they do make use of the special upper case modifiers and escapes that -pcretest uses to test some features of PCRE. The first of these files also -contains malformed regular expressions, in order to check that PCRE diagnoses -them correctly. Similarly, testinput6 tests UTF-8 features that do not relate -to Perl. - -Philip Hazel <ph10@cam.ac.uk> -August 2002 |
