| Subject: | use of left braces "{" in regex is deprecated in newer perls |
Hi guys,
first of all, great work on this module - and many thanks for
maintaining it!
I was just installing it on blead and got tons of warning messages
complaining that the use of left braces "{" within regex is now
deprecated (it has been since the last stable perl release, iirc). There
might be others, but it appears the major offender is line 201 of
ExtUtils::Xspp::Lexer.
https://metacpan.org/source/MBARBON/ExtUtils-XSpp-0.1602/lib/ExtUtils/XSpp/Lexer.pm#L201
While this doesn't affect the module itself (now), the warning is pretty
annoying and the offending bit might become an issue with future
releases, as I'm pretty sure you're well aware.
Anyway, just a head's up. Looking forward to the new release! :)
