Do not use this module directly, but load it via I. =head2 C<$RE{balanced}{-parens}> Returns a pattern that matches a string that starts with the nominated opening parenthesis or bracket, contains characters and properly nested parenthesized subsequences, and ends in the matching parenthesis. More than one type of parenthesis can be specified: $RE{balanced}{-parens=>'(){}'} in which case all specified parenthesis types must be correctly balanced within the string. Since version 2013030901, C<< $1 >> will always be set (to the entire matched substring), regardless whether C<< {-keep} >> is used or not. =head2 C<< $RE{balanced}{-begin => "begin"}{-end => "end"} >> Returns a pattern that matches a string that is properly balanced using the I and I strings as start and end delimiters. Multiple sets of begin and end strings can be given by separating them by C<|>s (which can be escaped with a backslash). qr/$RE{balanced}{-begin => "do|if|case"}{-end => "done|fi|esac"}/ will match properly balanced strings that either start with I and end with I, start with I and end with I, or start with I and end with I. If I<-end> contains less cases than I<-begin>, the last case of I<-end> is repeated. If it contains more cases than I<-begin>, the extra cases are ignored. If either of I<-begin> or I<-end> isn't given, or is empty, I<< -begin => '(' >> and I<< -end => ')' >> are assumed. Since version 2013030901, C<< $1 >> will always be set (to the entire matched substring), regardless whether C<< {-keep} >> is used or not. =head2 Note Since version 2013030901 the pattern will make of the recursive construct C<< (?-1) >>, instead of using the problematic C<< (??{ }) >> construct. This fixes an problem that was introduced in the 5.17 development track. =head1 SEE ALSO L for a general description of how to use this interface. =head1 AUTHOR Damian Conway (damian@conway.org) =head1 MAINTENANCE This package is maintained by Abigail S<(I)>. =head1 BUGS AND IRRITATIONS Bound to be plenty.
