NAME

6       Regex::compile - Compile a regular expression
7

SYNOPSIS

9       Regex compile( String pattern, [REFlags] fl=createArray(1) )
10

ARGUMENTS

12       pattern The regular expression pattern to compile
13
14       fl  A list of Regex.REFlags (3kaya) options for the regular expression.
15       This parameter is optional and defaults to the empty list.
16

DESCRIPTION

18       Compile a  regular  expression  and  return  the  compiled  Regex.Regex
19       (3kaya)
20        This  can  then be re-used in several function calls for greater effi‐
21       ciency.
22
23       Note that if a literal backslash needs to be matched, it must be  writ‐
24       ten  as  "\\"  as  both Kaya and PCRE will interpret one layer of back‐
25       slashes. You can avoid this from Kaya 0.2.6  onwards  by  using  a  raw
26       string instead.
