| Subject: | mvs fails on article names with regexp metacharacters |
When updating or retrieving articles whose titles have regexp
metacharacters, WWW::Mediawiki::Client will throw a ServerPageException
with the type "The server could not resolve the page name $pagename, but
responded that it was 'Editing $pagename'."
I have attached a patch, but the fix is simply to change /$expected$/ to
/\Q$expected\E$/ on line 1197
