9=head1 SYNOPSIS
10
e4d48cc9 11 use re 'taint';
12 ($x) = ($^X =~ /^(.*)$/s); # $x is tainted here
b3eb6a9b 13
2cd61cdb 14 $pat = '(?{ $foo = 1 })';
e4d48cc9 15 use re 'eval';
2cd61cdb 16 /foo${pat}bar/; # won't fail (when not under -T switch)
e4d48cc9 17
18 {
19 no re 'taint'; # the default
20 ($x) = ($^X =~ /^(.*)$/s); # $x is not tainted here
21
22 no re 'eval'; # the default
2cd61cdb 23 /foo${pat}bar/; # disallowed (with or without -T switch)
e4d48cc9 24 }
b3eb6a9b 25
0a92e3a8 26 use re 'debug'; # NOT lexically scoped (as others are)
27 /^(.*)$/s; # output debugging info during
28 # compile and run time
2cd61cdb 29
02ea72ae 30 use re 'debugcolor'; # same as 'debug', but with colored output
31 ...
32
a3621e74 33 use re qw(Debug All); # Finer tuned debugging options.
34 use re qw(Debug More); # Similarly not lexically scoped.
35 no re qw(Debug ALL); # Turn of all re dugging and unload the module.

b3eb6a9b 39=head1 DESCRIPTION
40
41When C<use re 'taint'> is in effect, and a tainted string is the target
42of a regex, the regex memories (or values returned by the m// operator
e4d48cc9 43in list context) are tainted. This feature is useful when regex operations
44on tainted data aren't meant to extract safe substrings, but to perform
45other transformations.
b3eb6a9b 46
e4d48cc9 47When C<use re 'eval'> is in effect, a regex is allowed to contain
2cd61cdb 48C<(?{ ... })> zero-width assertions even if regular expression contains
ffbc6a93 49variable interpolation. That is normally disallowed, since it is a
2cd61cdb 50potential security risk. Note that this pragma is ignored when the regular
51expression is obtained from tainted data, i.e. evaluation is always
3c4b39be 52disallowed with tainted regular expressions. See L<perlre/(?{ code })>.
2cd61cdb 53
ffbc6a93 54For the purpose of this pragma, interpolation of precompiled regular
0a92e3a8 55expressions (i.e., the result of C<qr//>) is I<not> considered variable
56interpolation. Thus:
2cd61cdb 57
58 /foo${pat}bar/
59
ffbc6a93 60I<is> allowed if $pat is a precompiled regular expression, even
2cd61cdb 61if $pat contains C<(?{ ... })> assertions.
62
ffbc6a93 63When C<use re 'debug'> is in effect, perl emits debugging messages when
2cd61cdb 64compiling and using regular expressions. The output is the same as that
65obtained by running a C<-DDEBUGGING>-enabled perl interpreter with the
66B<-Dr> switch. It may be quite voluminous depending on the complexity
02ea72ae 67of the match. Using C<debugcolor> instead of C<debug> enables a
68form of output that can be used to get a colorful display on terminals
69that understand termcap color sequences. Set C<$ENV{PERL_RE_TC}> to a
70comma-separated list of C<termcap> properties to use for highlighting
ffbc6a93 71strings on/off, pre-point part on/off.
2cd61cdb 72See L<perldebug/"Debugging regular expressions"> for additional info.
73
a3621e74 74Similarly C<use re 'Debug'> produces debugging output, the difference
75being that it allows the fine tuning of what debugging output will be
76emitted. Following the 'Debug' keyword one of several options may be
77provided: COMPILE, EXECUTE, TRIE_COMPILE, TRIE_EXECUTE, TRIE_MORE,
78OPTIMISE, OFFSETS and ALL. Additionally the special keywords 'All' and
79'More' may be provided. 'All' represents everything but OPTIMISE and
80OFFSETS and TRIE_MORE, and 'More' is similar but include TRIE_MORE.
81Saying C<< no re Debug => 'EXECUTE' >> will disable executing debug
82statements and saying C<< use re Debug => 'EXECUTE' >> will turn it on. Note
83that these flags can be set directly via ${^RE_DEBUG_FLAGS} by using the
84following flag values:
85
86 RE_DEBUG_COMPILE 1
87 RE_DEBUG_EXECUTE 2
88 RE_DEBUG_TRIE_COMPILE 4
89 RE_DEBUG_TRIE_EXECUTE 8
90 RE_DEBUG_TRIE_MORE 16
91 RE_DEBUG_OPTIMISE 32
92 RE_DEBUG_OFFSETS 64
93
94The directive C<use re 'debug'> and its equivalents are I<not> lexically
95scoped, as the other directives are. They have both compile-time and run-time
96effects.
