Branch: perl
succeeds. C<code> is not interpolated. Currently the rules to
determine where the C<code> ends are somewhat convoluted.
+The C<code> is properly scoped in the following sense: if the assertion
+is backtracked (compare L<"Backtracking">), all the changes introduced after
+C<local>isation are undone, so
+
+ $_ = 'a' x 8;
+ m<
+ (?{ $cnt = 0 }) # Initialize $cnt.
+ (
+ a
+ (?{
+ local $cnt = $cnt + 1; # Update $cnt, backtracking-safe.
+ })
+ )*
+ aaaa
+ (?{ $res = $cnt }) # On success copy to non-localized
+ # location.
+ >x;
+
+will set C<$res = 4>. Note that after the match $cnt returns to the globally
+introduced value 0, since the scopes which restrict C<local> statements
+are unwound.
+
+This assertion may be used as L<C<(?(condition)yes-pattern|no-pattern)>>
+switch. If I<not> used in this way, the result of evaluation of C<code>
+is put into variable $^R. This happens immediately, so $^R can be used from
+other C<(?{ code })> assertions inside the same regular expression.
+
+The above assignment to $^R is properly localized, thus the old value of $^R
+is restored if the assertion is backtracked (compare L<"Backtracking">).
+
B<WARNING>: This is a grave security risk for arbitrarily interpolated
patterns. It introduces security holes in previously safe programs.
A fix to Perl, and to this documentation, will be forthcoming prior
