Bug #132397 for PPR: Don't stop perl on: Quantifier in {,} bigger than 32766 in regex

Based on my question on stackoverflow ( https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61363512/dont-stop-perl-on-quantifier-in-bigger-than-32766-in-regex ): In the question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61307663/retain-newlines-for-pod-in-case-of-ppruncomment and this was solved in the answer, by defining a a new method `decomment2` that leaves the newlines properly. All works quite well, but now I have a file to process with a very big HERE document (far to big to publish here so unfortunately a link to an external site): https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/master/crypto/bn/asm/ppc.pl When this file is processed through the `PPR::decomment2` I get the message: ``` Quantifier in {,} bigger than 32766 in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/(?s:.{ <-- HERE 39303})/ at /home/User/perl5/lib/perl5/Doxygen/Filter/Perl.pm line 1222. ``` this line 1222 is the line `$str =~ m{ \A (?&PerlDocument) \Z` in the `PPR::decomment2` method`. At that moment the perl process terminates. - is there a way to enlarge this "32766" i.e 2**15-2 in some way? - is there a way not to terminate the perl process but set the `PPR::ERROR` or another flag, so this can be processed in the code? <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Virus-free. www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>
