what elements does " /^/ " match?
I did the test which indicates that it matches single lowercase character like 'a','b' etc. and '1','2' etc.
But I really confused with that. Because, "/^abc/" matches strings like "abcedf" or "abcddddee".
So, what does caret ^ really mean?
Any response... (2 Replies)

Perl::Critic::Policy::RegularExpressions::RequireBracesFUserlContributed PPerl::Critic::Policy::RegularExpressions::RequireBracesForMultiline(3pm)
NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::RegularExpressions::RequireBracesForMultiline - Use "{" and "}" to delimit multi-line regexps.
AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
DESCRIPTION
Long regular expressions are hard to read. A good practice is to use the "x" modifier and break the regex into multiple lines with
comments explaining the parts. But, with the usual "//" delimiters, the beginning and end can be hard to match, especially in a "s///"
regexp. Instead, try using "{}" characters to delimit your expressions.
Compare these:
s/
<a s+ href="([^"]+)">
(.*?)
</a>
/link=$1, text=$2/xms;
vs.
s{
<a s+ href="([^"]+)">
(.*?)
</a>
}
{link=$1, text=$2}xms;
Is that an improvement? Marginally, but yes. The curly braces lead the eye better.
CONFIGURATION
There is one option for this policy, "allow_all_brackets". If this is true, then, in addition to allowing "{}", the other matched pairs of
"()", "[]", and "<>" are allowed.
CREDITS
Initial development of this policy was supported by a grant from the Perl Foundation.
