NAME

Regexp::DefaultFlags - Set default flags on regular expressions

VERSION

This document describes version 0.01 of Regexp::DefaultFlags released September 28, 2004.

SYNOPSIS

    use Regexp::DefaultFlags;
    # Match /ab[c-z]d/, but lay the pattern out more readably...
    $str =~ / a b [c-z]   # Not fussy on the third letter
                d         # But fussy again on the fourth
            /;

DESCRIPTION

When this module is "use"'d, it causes regexes in the current namespace to act as if the "/xms" flags had been applied to them.

See perlre for more details and caveats on these flags.

If an argument is passed to the "use" statement, the module uses the flags specified in that argument instead of "/xms". The replacement flags can be specified in any of the following ways:

    use Regexp::DefaultFlags qw( /x /i /m );
    use Regexp::DefaultFlags qw( /xim );
    use Regexp::DefaultFlags qw( xim );
