[Bioperl-l] SearchIO failing test 203

[Ewan Birney]

not ok 203
# Test 203 got: 'HUMBETGLOA' (t/SearchIO.t at line 315)
#     Expected: qr/(?-xism:HUMBETGLOA Human haplotype C4 beta-globin gene,
complete cds.)/



Can someone explain to me the qr/(?-xism:XXXX)/ syntax -

  - is it new with a new version of perl?
  - what does it do
  - why do people like it?


BTW - sharp eyed people would have noticed that i removed these guys from
ClusterIO/unigene because it doesn't work down in 5.0005 (at least, not
for me)



In any case -I'm ignorant andn would love to be educated ;)
