This code dies in perl 5.16.2 and it shouldn't: #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use feature 'unicode_strings'; my $x = "\x{263a}"; $x =~ /$x/; my $text = "Perl"; die if $text !~ /P.*$/i; This is regression since perl 5.14.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
Perl 5.18 fixed the bug at F20.
