From: Célestin Matte Date: Fri, 14 Jun 2013 13:50:09 GMT Subject: [PATCH v6 01/31] git-remote-mediawiki: Make a regexp clearer Message-ID: <1371217839-23017-2-git-send-email-celestin.matte@ensimag.fr> In-Reply-To: <1371217839-23017-1-git-send-email-celestin.matte@ensimag.fr> From: Célestin Matte Perl's split function takes a regex pattern argument. You can also feed it an expression, which is then compiled into a regex at runtime. It therefore works to pass your pattern via single quotes, but it is much less obvious to a reader that the argument is meant to be a regex, not a static string. Using the traditional slash-delimiters makes this easier to read.
