I'm getting this warning when using the Encode package, right off the
bat. This is Perl 5.8.3 on RedHat i386. Is there a patch? How can I
disable the warning?
$ perl -W -e 'use Encode;'
False [] range "\s-" in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/\bkoi8[\s- <--
HERE _]*([ru])$/ at /usr/lib/perl/5.8/Encode/Alias.pm line 196.
$ perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.3 built for i386-linux-thread-multi
...
$ set
(no locale, lc_lang, etc. are set)
$ perl -W -e 'use Encode::Alias;'
(same warning as above)
I found only thread regarding this in the comp.lang.perl.tk ng:
http://groups.google.com/groups?th=c98d01ae005f9edd&rnum=1
This was introduced by Change 20432 (Aug 1, 2003):
http://www.mail-archive.com/perl5-changes(_at_)perl(_dot_)org/msg07485.html
Below is a patch. However, i suspect that perhaps line 196 should be:
define_alias( qr/\bkoi8[-_ ]?([ru])$/i => '"koi8-$1"' );
^^^^^^
