Hello, while packaging Regexp::Wildcards for Debian I learned about two issues in the package description, here's the fix: --- a/lib/Regexp/Wildcards.pm +++ b/lib/Regexp/Wildcards.pm @@ -53,9 +53,9 @@ In many situations, users may want to specify patterns to match but don't need t Wildcards make one of those sets of simplified rules. This module converts wildcard expressions to Perl regular expressions, so that you can use them for matching. -It handles the C<*> and C<?> jokers, as well as Unix bracketed alternatives C<{,}>, but also C<%> and C<_> SQL wildcards. +It handles the C<*> and C<?> wildcards, as well as Unix bracketed alternatives C<{,}>, but also C<%> and C<_> SQL wildcards. If required, it can also keep original C<(...)> groups or C<^> and C<$> anchors. -Backspace (C<\>) is used as an escape character. +Backslash (C<\>) is used as an escape character. Typesets that mimic the behaviour of Windows and Unix shells are also provided. The second should be obvious, about the first: Appearently, the "joker" word is fairly unusual to describe a wildcard in English, hence the change. Consequently, the "jokers" class should be renamed as well, although the current form should still be renamed to retain compatibility. See https://bugs.debian.org/912745 for the discussion.
