Changes for version 1.001 - 2026-09-15

  • /m, /s and /x no longer exempt a pattern: none of them changes a pattern of nothing but literals, and only /i stops index() doing its job
  • A file under use re '/sx' was exempt in its entirety, since a use re in scope counts as a flag on every match; it is reported now like any other

Modules

Perl::Critic::Policy::ProhibitRegexForSimpleSubstring
Use index() to look for literal text, and leave split its pattern.
