Regexp with anchors fails to match

I can't seem to use regex anchors to force the match to the start or end of a string. For example: throws_ok {die "foo"} qr/^foo$/, "Throws with regex anchors"; not ok 1 - Throws with regex anchors # Failed test 'Throws with regex anchors' # at CountryCodes.t line 9. # expecting: Regexp ((?-xism:^foo$)) # found: foo at CountryCodes.t line 9. This passes: throws_ok {die "foo"} qr/foo/, "Throws with regex anchors";

Hi David, It's doing exactly what you ask :-) You have to remember that the exception string thrown by perl _includes_ the line number so it's trying to match "foo" with "foo at CountryCodes.t line 9" and correctly failing. Hope that makes sense. Ask if you have any questions :-) Thanks, Adrian On Tue Jul 13 02:31:58 2010, david.tulloh@AirservicesAustralia.com wrote: Show quoted text

Thanks, that makes perfect sense when you point it out. I know the documentation for throws_ok is already fairly long but you may want to add something that addresses this in there. With all the talk of exceptions I had forgotten that what you were really dealing with was perl die strings and I suspect many others would too.
