* | pods: mention \o{}, 3 octal digitsKarl Williamson2010-07-193-8/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a mention of \o{} to perlre to avoid the backreference ambiguities, and uses 3 octal digits in an example, and suggests using 3 digits where 2 were suggested before. Signed-off-by: David Golden <dagolden@cpan.org>

| | | | | | | | This is a merge resolution based on original work by Karl Williamson.
* | Add \o{} escapeKarl Williamson2010-07-175-32/+91
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit adds the new construct \o{} to express a character constant by its octal ordinal value, along with ancillary tests and documentation. A function to handle this is added to util.c, and it is called from the 3 parsing places it could occur. The function is a candidate for in-lining, though I doubt that it will ever be used frequently.

* | \400 -\777 now means the same thing in all d-quoteKarl Williamson2010-07-173-10/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Prior to this patch, \400 - \777 meant something different in some circumstances in regexes outside bracketed character classes. A deprecated warning message has been in place since 5.10.1 when this happens. Remove the warning, and bring the behavior into line with the other double-quotish contexts. \400 - \777 now always means the same thing as \x{100} - \x{1FF} (except when the octal forms are taken as backreferences.)

* Extend \N{} enhancements to vianame()Karl Williamson2010-07-041-5/+6
| | | | | This patch refactors charnames so that vianame and \N call the same common subroutine so that they have as identical behavior as possible.
* Allow defining custom charnames to ordinalsKarl Williamson2010-07-041-3/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds the ability of a user to create a custom alias that maps to a numeric ordinal value, instead of an official Unicode name. The number of hashes went up so that is better to refer to them by a name than a number, so I renamed them. Also, viacode will return any defined user's alias for an otherwise unamed code point. This change is principally so that private use characters can be named so it is more convenient to use them in Perl.
* Add a number of abbrs and variants to \N{}Karl Williamson2010-07-041-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the standard abbreviations for the control characters (such as ACK, BEL, etc) to the repertoire that \N{} knows about. It also adds a few common variants of their full names, and the old names for the 4 controls that Unicode has chosen not to have any names at all for. The patch also adds all the abbreviations that Unicode lists in 5.2 for longer characters, such as NBSP, SHY, LRE, ... To preserve complete backward compatibilty for these and future changes, user-defined aliases are now checked first, before these are. As a performance enhancement, these aliases are mapped to their actual code values instead of their full names which then had to be looked up in the large table. Now that is avoided, and the table is not loaded at all until a name is encountered that is not one of these aliases. The pod and .t are updated.

* Add additional notes regarding srand and forkingBrian Phillips2010-07-011-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | perldoc -f srand states that typical use requires no srand() to be called. This is true with the exception of forking where you may not want the same seed across various child processes (i.e. mod_perl). This patch simply adds a note reminding the reader of this fact and more specifically states that srand should only be called once per *process* (instead of the previous language of once per *script*).
