NAME

       Regex::REFlags - Flags for regular expression compilation

SYNOPSIS

       Regex::REFlags< >

     = IgnoreCase()

     | Extended()

     | Multiline()

     | Ungreedy()

DESCRIPTION

       Flags for regular expression compilation

     - IgnoreCase makes the expression case-insensitive (so "^a" would match "All" and "all"

     -  Extended  when  set  causes  whitespace  in the pattern (other than in a character class) and characters
     between a '#' outside a character class and the next newline character to be ignored. An escaping backslash
     can be used to include a whitespace or '#' character as part of the pattern.

     - Multiline changes the meaning of the start '^' and end '$' characters so that as  well  as  matching  the
     start  and  end of the string, they will also match immediately after and immediately before a newline '\n'
     character.

     - Ungreedy causes the expression and sub-expressions to find the smallest possible match, rather  than  the
     largest  possible, unless a '?' is placed after the expression. For example, the pattern "a.*a" would match
     "aca" if ungreedy, and "acada" if greedy in the string "bacadaf".
