I think what you want is "[[:digit:]]" The POSIX class needs to appear
inside of a character class.

Eek! I deserve a thousand lashes with my copy of "Mastering Regular
Expressions" for that one!

I think RegExp (which I'm switching from) allows inline [:posix:], which is
definitely wrong.

new Perl5Util().match("/[[:alpha:]]/", "a") => false

[Adam Shackleford <ap...@sprynet.com>]

The expression:

	new Perl5Util().match("/[[:alpha:]]/", "a")

returns false with ORO 2.0.3, whereas: 

	new Perl5Util().match("/[[:alnum:]]/", "a")

returns true. I hope this isn't another newbie mistake...

thanks,
