Changes for version 1.02 - 2014-12-31

  • Change the default value for text() from '' to \''.
  • Add the length() and pos() mutators, to allow the user to control the call to the recognizer's read() method. See the FAQ.
  • Add the exhaustion_is_fatal option. See error_number() == 6 for details.
  • Add t/skip.prefix.t to demonstrate pos() and length().
  • Add scripts/tiny.pl for quick tests without Test::More.
  • Add the escape_char() mutator, to allow the user to overrider the default backslash escape char.
  • Add t/non.default.escapes.t to demonstrate escape_char().
  • Add more error numbers, corresponding the 'die's which were not previously consistent with the way error_numbers and error_messages should be set.
  • comment explicitly all 'die's within the scope of try{} catch{}, and visa versa. This affects how 'Error: ' is only added once to error messages being printed.
