Subject: globs using character ranges match directory separators
Date: Sun, 07 Feb 2016 15:49:04 -0500
To: bug-Text-Glob [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Jonathan Primrose <jprimros [...] gmail.com>
Distribution name and version: Text-Glob-0.09 Perl version: (any - using 5.22.1) Operating System vendor and version: Linux 3.18.7 (locally compiled, SLS distribution for last full install) Problem Description: When using a glob that includes a character range, the directory separator can be matched. This behavior is inconsistent with the operation of globbing at a shell prompt, and with perl's glob function. Similarly, the shell and perl's glob will never match a directory separator explicitly listed in a character set. Simple example: use Text::Glob qw(glob_to_regex); my $re = glob_to_regex('a[+-3]b'); my $test = 'a/b'; if ($test =~ m/$re/) { print "Buggy\n"; } else { print "Good\n"; } The directory separator should be removed from any character set when converting from the glob pattern to a regex, both when explicitly listed in the character set, and when implicitly included as part of a character range.
