9*0Sstevel@tonic-gate=head1 SYNOPSIS
10*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
11*0Sstevel@tonic-gate    use re 'taint';
12*0Sstevel@tonic-gate    ($x) = ($^X =~ /^(.*)$/s);     # $x is tainted here
13*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
14*0Sstevel@tonic-gate    $pat = '(?{ $foo = 1 })';
15*0Sstevel@tonic-gate    use re 'eval';
16*0Sstevel@tonic-gate    /foo${pat}bar/;		   # won't fail (when not under -T switch)
17*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
18*0Sstevel@tonic-gate    {
19*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	no re 'taint';		   # the default
20*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	($x) = ($^X =~ /^(.*)$/s); # $x is not tainted here
21*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
22*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	no re 'eval';		   # the default
23*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	/foo${pat}bar/;		   # disallowed (with or without -T switch)
24*0Sstevel@tonic-gate    }
25*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
26*0Sstevel@tonic-gate    use re 'debug';		   # NOT lexically scoped (as others are)
27*0Sstevel@tonic-gate    /^(.*)$/s;			   # output debugging info during
28*0Sstevel@tonic-gate    				   #     compile and run time
29*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
30*0Sstevel@tonic-gate    use re 'debugcolor';	   # same as 'debug', but with colored output
31*0Sstevel@tonic-gate    ...
32*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
33*0Sstevel@tonic-gate(We use $^X in these examples because it's tainted by default.)
34*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
35*0Sstevel@tonic-gate=head1 DESCRIPTION
36*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
37*0Sstevel@tonic-gateWhen C<use re 'taint'> is in effect, and a tainted string is the target
38*0Sstevel@tonic-gateof a regex, the regex memories (or values returned by the m// operator
39*0Sstevel@tonic-gatein list context) are tainted.  This feature is useful when regex operations
40*0Sstevel@tonic-gateon tainted data aren't meant to extract safe substrings, but to perform
41*0Sstevel@tonic-gateother transformations.
42*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
43*0Sstevel@tonic-gateWhen C<use re 'eval'> is in effect, a regex is allowed to contain
44*0Sstevel@tonic-gateC<(?{ ... })> zero-width assertions even if regular expression contains
45*0Sstevel@tonic-gatevariable interpolation.  That is normally disallowed, since it is a
46*0Sstevel@tonic-gatepotential security risk.  Note that this pragma is ignored when the regular
47*0Sstevel@tonic-gateexpression is obtained from tainted data, i.e.  evaluation is always
48*0Sstevel@tonic-gatedisallowed with tainted regular expresssions.  See L<perlre/(?{ code })>.
49*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
50*0Sstevel@tonic-gateFor the purpose of this pragma, interpolation of precompiled regular
51*0Sstevel@tonic-gateexpressions (i.e., the result of C<qr//>) is I<not> considered variable
52*0Sstevel@tonic-gateinterpolation.  Thus:
53*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
54*0Sstevel@tonic-gate    /foo${pat}bar/
55*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
56*0Sstevel@tonic-gateI<is> allowed if $pat is a precompiled regular expression, even
57*0Sstevel@tonic-gateif $pat contains C<(?{ ... })> assertions.
58*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
59*0Sstevel@tonic-gateWhen C<use re 'debug'> is in effect, perl emits debugging messages when
60*0Sstevel@tonic-gatecompiling and using regular expressions.  The output is the same as that
61*0Sstevel@tonic-gateobtained by running a C<-DDEBUGGING>-enabled perl interpreter with the
62*0Sstevel@tonic-gateB<-Dr> switch. It may be quite voluminous depending on the complexity
63*0Sstevel@tonic-gateof the match.  Using C<debugcolor> instead of C<debug> enables a
64*0Sstevel@tonic-gateform of output that can be used to get a colorful display on terminals
65*0Sstevel@tonic-gatethat understand termcap color sequences.  Set C<$ENV{PERL_RE_TC}> to a
66*0Sstevel@tonic-gatecomma-separated list of C<termcap> properties to use for highlighting
67*0Sstevel@tonic-gatestrings on/off, pre-point part on/off.
68*0Sstevel@tonic-gateSee L<perldebug/"Debugging regular expressions"> for additional info.
69*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
70*0Sstevel@tonic-gateThe directive C<use re 'debug'> is I<not lexically scoped>, as the
71*0Sstevel@tonic-gateother directives are.  It has both compile-time and run-time effects.
