Regexp::Compare implements a function comparing regular expressions: it returns
|
||
|
|
true if all strings matched by the first regexp are also matched by the second.
|
||
|
|
It's meant to be used for optimization of blacklists implemented by regular
|
||
|
|
expressions (like, for example, http://www.communitywiki.org/cw/BannedContent).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
False return value does not imply that there's a string matched by the first
|
||
|
|
regexp which isn't matched by the second - many regular expressions (i.e. those
|
||
|
|
containing Perl code) are impossible to compare, and this module doesn't even
|
||
|
|
implement all possible comparisons.
