Autor: Максим Data: A: Pcre-dev Assumpte: Re: [pcre-dev] (*THEN) works differently in Perl
And it totally contradicts the Perl documentation, in particular, this
sentence:
Note that if this operator is used and NOT inside of an alternation
then it acts exactly like the "(*PRUNE)" operator.
Sorry I'm ND but write from another mailbox.
I guess from Perl point of view (*THEN) IS inside a branch of the alternation (please look at line indentations in Perl debug output - it is inside BRANCH).
So it should not act as (*PRUNE) in that example.
