pcretest input file

According to pcre documentation ^ and $ are not part of recursive pattern but
recursive pattern does not work if we have specified ^ option. Following is
test with pcretest program.

./pcretest -q testdata/testinput120
!^(\d+(\s*,\s*(?R))*)!
    22222,  33333, 44444 ,55555 , abcd,defg,4537, 6537, 8774
 0: 22222
 1: 22222

!(\d+(\s*,\s*(?R))*)$!
    22222,  33333, 44444 ,55555 , abcd,defg,4537, 6537, 8774
 0: 4537, 6537, 8774
 1: 4537, 6537, 8774
 2: , 6537, 8774

/-- End of testinput120 --/

It only matches first digit but it should match all four digits. so epected
result should be
0:22222, 33333, 44444 ,55555
1:22222, 33333, 44444 ,55555
