Version 2.113 Wed Apr 2 22:58:46 2003
+ INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE!
Regexp::Common used to set $; to '='. This no longer happens, because
setting $; breaks Filter::Simple. (Report by Tim Maher).
This means that regexps of the form $RE{foo}{"-flag=value"} no longer work!
They need to be written as $RE{foo}{"-flag$;value"} or as
$RE{foo}{-flag => "value"}.
When defining patterns using the pattern function, a = still needs to be
used to separate the flag from its default value. This has not been changed.
We are very sorry for the inconvenience.
