The effort to shift the luxury cruise ship Consta Concordia into an upright position has begun, and several news outlets are streaming their coverage of what's said to be the biggest such operation of its kind ever.
Reuters is one good option. It has embedded its video feed in its live blogging of the operation.
The BBC's webcast, meanwhile, has the advantage of allowing you to mute the sound.
It was January 2012 when the ship ran aground off the coast of Tuscany. Thirty-two people died. Two bodies may still be aboard the ship.
As NPR's Sylvia Poggioli explained for us on Saturday, "the old nautical term for the operation is called parbuckling. Over a 10- to 12-hour period, the ship — now slumped on its side on a sloping reef — will be slowly rotated as dozens of pulleys will pull it upright." At 114,000 tons, the ship is twice the size of the Titanic.
According to the operation's website:
"The parbuckling or rotation will take about a couple of days, as the movement has to be extremely delicate and constantly monitored.
"The parbuckling will be performed using strand jacks which will be tightening several cables attached to the top of the caissons and to the platforms, which will be pulled seawards, while the cables attached to the starboard turrets will be used for balancing.
"This is a very delicate phase, during which the forces involved have to be offset carefully to rotate the wreck without deforming the hull."

The defense is expected to wrap up its case Wednesday afternoon at the murder trial of George Zimmerman, the Florida neighborhood watch volunteer accused in the February 2012 shooting death of teenager Trayvon Martin.
Update at 4:50 p.m. ET: Defense Rests Case
After its motion to acquit Zimmerman was denied, his defense team rested its case. Their final witness was Zimmerman's father, Robert. The defendant did not testify.
"In one memorable moment Wednesday, attorneys from both sides grappled with a foam dummy on the floor of a Florida courtroom," CNN reports, "working to demonstrate to rapt jurors their competing versions of what happened the rainy 2012 night Trayvon Martin died in an altercation with George Zimmerman."
USA Today has also isolated that video on its website.
Closing arguments are expected Thursday. The case could be in the hands of the sequestered jury by late Thursday or early Friday.
Our original post continues:
At midday, The Orlando Sentinel was leading its latest story with this news:
"The judge in the George Zimmerman murder trial issued key rulings this morning, blocking the defense from putting on testimony about 17-year-old Trayvon Martin's text messages or using a computer animated recreation of the teen's shooting as evidence. The defense will be allowed to use the animation as a demonstrative aid, likely during closing arguments. But it will not go back with the jurors as evidence when they deliberate."
As we've written many times, Trayvon's death and the way authorities handled the investigation reignited a national discussion about race relations.
The 17-year-old was killed on Feb. 26, 2012, in Sanford, Fla. Zimmerman had called police to say there was a "suspicious" person in the area. At some point, the two came into contact. Zimmerman says he shot Trayvon in self defense, after the younger man attacked him. Trayvon's family members and their supporters say Zimmerman racially profiled the African-American teen and should not have followed him. They also dispute Zimmerman's claim that he was defending himself.
Anger over the fact that authorities didn't immediately arrest Zimmerman led to protests in Florida and in cities across the nation.
Wednesday on Tell Me More, former federal prosecutor Pamela Pierson told host Michel Martin that during the trial so far, "race is the 500-pound gorilla in the room that nobody is talking about. [But] I think it permeates the case — it has from the very beginning. The furor about whether Zimmerman was going to be charged. ... And despite the judge's and the attorneys' efforts to keep racial or racist language to a minimum or out of the courtroom, I think it definitely is permeating the case."
Pierson, now a professor at the University of Alabama School of Law, said she saw race entering the picture particularly in the reactions to the defense attorneys' cross examination of Trayvon's friend Rachel Jeantel.
Defense attorneys, she noted, try "to destroy someone's credibility. ... That's their job — to attack their credibility. But we wouldn't be hearing 'Oh this was unfair' or 'this is racially biased,' [if the witness had been] a thin, white, well-spoken woman" instead of the African-American Jeantel.
As for the case itself, Georgetown Law professor Paul Butler said on Tell Me More that:
"It's a kind of lousy murder case because for murder the prosecution will have to prove what's going on in Zimmerman's mind. That he was malicious. That he hated Trayvon. That he had all this ill will. And I'm not sure we've seen a lot of evidence of that.
"On the other hand, it's a pretty good manslaughter case. And the jury will have the option, almost certainly, of convicting him of that. Because for manslaughter, all that has to be proved is that Mr. Zimmerman was reckless, that he's kind of a loose canon. And I think we've seen plenty of evidence of that."

Closing arguments are likely to begin as soon as Thursday.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is common to have questions about the funeral process. This section answers some commonly asked questions to help make this process easier for you. If additional questions arise, please feel free to contact us directly at the funeral home.
What is a funeral?
A funeral is a ceremony for a deceased person, prior to burial or cremation. A funeral gives the opportunity for family and friends of the deceased to gather and mourn the passing of their loved one, to share cherished memories, and to celebrate their life. A funeral is a vital first step in helping the bereaved heal after the loss of someone special.
What type of service should I have?
If no pre-arrangements have been made, the type of service is entirely up to you, but it is best to consider what the deceased may have wanted. Services are usually held at a funeral home or a place of worship. There are a wealth of different services, ranging from traditional religious or military services, to something a little more unique. Our funeral directors are more than happy to work with you to figure out what would be the most appropriate.
Can I personalize a funeral?
Of course you can! In fact, more and more people are opting for non-traditional, personalized services. There is no one way to celebrate somebody's life. Let the funeral director know exactly what your desires are and they will honor your wishes.
Do we need to have an obituary notice and what is included in one?
It is highly recommended to have an obituary notice that is either posted in a local newspaper or online. An obituary lets the public know that a death has occurred, and provides them with information about the service. Obituaries generally include the deceased's full name, age, city, and date of birth, as well as the city they were living in when they died. It also includes the name of the deceased's spouse, along with the names of anyone else significant in their lives, such as parents, children, or grandchildren. Space may be limited in a newspaper obituary, but you might also wish to include a short sentiment on the life and legacy of the deceased. An online obituary or memorial website offers you the chance to add a lot more about the deceased.
Who are funeral directors and what do they do?
Funeral directors are in charge of all the logistics following a death. They complete all the necessary paperwork, make arrangements for the transportation of the body, and put into action the choices made by the family in regards to the funeral service and the final resting place of the body. Beyond all of this, funeral directors are there to provide emotional support and personal guidance in the wake of a loss.
What happens if the death occurs in the middle of the night or on the weekend?
We are here to help. Funeral directors are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year.
What if a death occurs away from my home town?
We can arrange to have the remains transported from anywhere in the world. We will assume responsibility and make the proper arrangements to have the remains return to the community.
What is embalming and what purpose does it serve?
Embalming sanitizes and preserves the body. It also slows down the decomposition process and enhances the appearance of a body impacted by a traumatic death or illness. Embalming gives time to the family of the deceased to arrange a service, and allows for the possibility of an open-casket viewing.
Do I need to have an embalming?
No. In fact, some religions forbid embalming. Some countries do require embalming by law in order for remains to leave or enter the country. If it is not against your religious custom, embalming is generally recommended, especially if there is an extended gap between death and burial or cremation.
How much does a funeral cost?
The cost of the funeral depends on the services selected. The average cost of a funeral is between $5,000-$7,000; however, the most basic of services can cost as little as $1000. The cost includes all professional services including transportation, embalming and other preparations, the use of a facility for the ceremony, and the purchase of a casket or urn.
What drives the cost of a funeral?
Funerals are labor intensive A funeral's cost extends beyond the merchandise, and includes the services of the funeral director. Their role in making the necessary arrangements, filling out forms, and dealing with all the other figures involved after a death (doctors, lawyers, insurance companies). Funeral directors work an average of forty hours per funeral, and the cost of operating a funeral home is included as well. Funeral homes are a 24 hour operation, with extensive facilities that need to be maintained and secured.
What do I do if I am not satisfied with the way a funeral was handled?
Funeral Services in the United States is regulated by the Federal Trade Commission, they can be reached by telephone at 1-877-FTC-HELP (382-4357) or you can fill out a form online at www.ftc.gov. In Canada, funeral services are regulated provincially and this information can be found on the Canadian Consumer Information website at www.consumerinformation.ca.

In 1908, Mr William Elijah Benton a mining engineer from Acton, founded a small business to manufacture lime on the southern edge of Chinnor. This eventually consisted of five Beehive Lime Kilns producing lump lime for use in both construction and agriculture. In 1919 he added a small cement plant which used Flare Kilns (that had to be loaded and unloaded by hand).
By 1928 the business had grown and the first rotary kiln was commissioned and following progress and development, the Chinnor Cement & Lime Co. Ltd was formed in 1936 and further investment followed, with kiln No.2 being installed in 1938. A further kiln No.3 was added in 1958 and the Company had also grown, becoming Chinnor Industries Ltd; by 1962, the original rotary kiln had been replaced by a new No.1 inclined rotary kiln and the site extended to almost 200 acres. On 1 January 1963 the ordinary shares were acquired by Rugby Portland Cement and the plant became one of only six major cement factories operated around the UK.
In latter days, with its 175 ft. high concrete chimneys as landmarks, the factory could be seen from far over the Vale of Aylesbury. Chalk, which was the main raw material, was being quarried at the amazing rate of 400,000 tonnes a year to make 225,000 tonnes of cement. The output of the factory was distributed in a fleet of tangerine-painted bulk delivery road vehicles. But it was the inward coal and gypsum traffic that also fed the thriving Chinnor Cement Works, that so fortunately saved the branch from being lifted after its passenger services had ceased in 1957. The heritage line of today is thankful that it happened, for without such traffic, there would be no CPRR now! For example in 1979 over 76,000 tonnes of these minerals were passing over the branch annually: 61,000 tonnes of coal, arriving as washed slack from Bolsover Colliery in Derbyshire, was moved in 3,900 wagons of 16 or 24 tonnes capacity (the fuel fired the inclined rotary kilns at 2,650 deg. F); 15,000 tonnes of crushed gypsum rock (sulphate of lime) came from shallow mines at East Leake near Nottingham and were moved in 1,000 wagons (gypsum is used as an additive that retards the setting rate of the cement).
But changes within the construction and minerals industries meant that things could not continue and the factory ceased production in 2000. The buildings and kilns remained in a derelict state until, in 2006, the land was purchased by Taylor Wimpey for longer term redevelopment as housing. The works were finally demolished in 2007/8 and the only remaining building is a Grade 2 listed Beehive Kiln, dating from the earliest years (built 1908).
Social comment: There was once an old adage or country-folk saying that train and time wait for no man, but William Elijah Benton, founder of Chinnor Cement Works, a frequent passenger on the Chinnor branch, was probably one exception. He had the habit of announcing his train journeys by whistling from his office door across to the station and be it noted, no train driver dared to leave without him. Norman Molyneux Benton, who succeeded his father as Chairman & Managing Director, was wont to arrive at the booking office window and say 'my piece of cardboard please'; his destination was always made known to the station staff in advance.

Exporter - Implements default import method for modules
In module YourModule.pm:
package YourModule;
require Exporter;
@ISA = qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT_OK = qw(munge frobnicate); # symbols to export on request
package YourModule;
use Exporter 'import'; # gives you Exporter's import() method directly
@EXPORT_OK = qw(munge frobnicate); # symbols to export on request
In other files which wish to use YourModule
use YourModule qw(frobnicate); # import listed symbols
frobnicate ($left, $right) # calls YourModule::frobnicate
Take a look at "Good Practices" for some variants you will like to use in modern Perl code.
The Exporter module implements an import
method which allows a module to export functions and variables to its users' namespaces. Many modules use Exporter rather than implementing their own import
method because Exporter provides a highly flexible interface, with an implementation optimised for the common case.
Perl automatically calls the import
method when processing a use
statement for a module. Modules and use
are documented in perlfunc and perlmod. Understanding the concept of modules and how the use
statement operates is important to understanding the Exporter.
The arrays @EXPORT
and @EXPORT_OK
in a module hold lists of symbols that are going to be exported into the users name space by default, or which they can request to be exported, respectively. The symbols can represent functions, scalars, arrays, hashes, or typeglobs. The symbols must be given by full name with the exception that the ampersand in front of a function is optional, e.g.
@EXPORT = qw(afunc $scalar @array); # afunc is a function
@EXPORT_OK = qw(&bfunc %hash *typeglob); # explicit prefix on &bfunc
If you are only exporting function names it is recommended to omit the ampersand, as the implementation is faster this way.
Do not export method names!
Do not export anything else by default without a good reason!
Exports pollute the namespace of the module user. If you must export try to use @EXPORT_OK
in preference to @EXPORT
and avoid short or common symbol names to reduce the risk of name clashes.
Generally anything not exported is still accessible from outside the module using the YourModule::item_name
(or $blessed_ref->method
) syntax. By convention you can use a leading underscore on names to informally indicate that they are 'internal' and not for public use.
(It is actually possible to get private functions by saying:
my $subref = sub { ... };
$subref->(@args); # Call it as a function
$obj->$subref(@args); # Use it as a method
However if you use them for methods it is up to you to figure out how to make inheritance work.)
As a general rule, if the module is trying to be object oriented then export nothing. If it's just a collection of functions then @EXPORT_OK
anything but use @EXPORT
with caution. For function and method names use barewords in preference to names prefixed with ampersands for the export lists.
Other module design guidelines can be found in perlmod.
In other files which wish to use your module there are three basic ways for them to load your module and import its symbols:
use YourModule;
This imports all the symbols from YourModule's @EXPORT
into the namespace of the use
use YourModule ();
This causes perl to load your module but does not import any symbols.
use YourModule qw(...);
This imports only the symbols listed by the caller into their namespace. All listed symbols must be in your @EXPORT
or @EXPORT_OK
, else an error occurs. The advanced export features of Exporter are accessed like this, but with list entries that are syntactically distinct from symbol names.
Unless you want to use its advanced features, this is probably all you need to know to use Exporter.
If any of the entries in an import list begins with !, : or / then the list is treated as a series of specifications which either add to or delete from the list of names to import. They are processed left to right. Specifications are in the form:
[!]name This name only
[!]:DEFAULT All names in @EXPORT
[!]:tag All names in $EXPORT_TAGS{tag} anonymous array
[!]/pattern/ All names in @EXPORT and @EXPORT_OK which match
A leading ! indicates that matching names should be deleted from the list of names to import. If the first specification is a deletion it is treated as though preceded by :DEFAULT. If you just want to import extra names in addition to the default set you will still need to include :DEFAULT explicitly.
e.g., Module.pm defines:
@EXPORT = qw(A1 A2 A3 A4 A5);
@EXPORT_OK = qw(B1 B2 B3 B4 B5);
%EXPORT_TAGS = (T1 => [qw(A1 A2 B1 B2)], T2 => [qw(A1 A2 B3 B4)]);
Note that you cannot use tags in @EXPORT or @EXPORT_OK.
Names in EXPORT_TAGS must also appear in @EXPORT or @EXPORT_OK.
An application using Module can say something like:
use Module qw(:DEFAULT :T2 !B3 A3);
Other examples include:
use Socket qw(!/^[AP]F_/ !SOMAXCONN !SOL_SOCKET);
use POSIX qw(:errno_h :termios_h !TCSADRAIN !/^EXIT/);
Remember that most patterns (using //) will need to be anchored with a leading ^, e.g., /^EXIT/
rather than /EXIT/
You can say BEGIN { $Exporter::Verbose=1 }
to see how the specifications are being processed and what is actually being imported into modules.
Exporter has a special method, 'export_to_level' which is used in situations where you can't directly call Exporter's import method. The export_to_level method looks like:
$where_to_export, $package, @what_to_export
where $where_to_export
is an integer telling how far up the calling stack to export your symbols, and @what_to_export
is an array telling what symbols *to* export (usually this is @_
). The $package
argument is currently unused.
For example, suppose that you have a module, A, which already has an import function:
package A;
@ISA = qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT_OK = qw($b);
sub import
$A::b = 1; # not a very useful import method
and you want to Export symbol $A::b
back to the module that called package A. Since Exporter relies on the import method to work, via inheritance, as it stands Exporter::import() will never get called. Instead, say the following:
package A;
@ISA = qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT_OK = qw($b);
sub import
$A::b = 1;
A->export_to_level(1, @_);
This will export the symbols one level 'above' the current package - ie: to the program or module that used package A.
Note: Be careful not to modify @_
at all before you call export_to_level - or people using your package will get very unexplained results!
By including Exporter in your @ISA
you inherit an Exporter's import() method but you also inherit several other helper methods which you probably don't want. To avoid this you can do:
package YourModule;
use Exporter qw(import);
which will export Exporter's own import() method into YourModule. Everything will work as before but you won't need to include Exporter in @YourModule::ISA
Note: This feature was introduced in version 5.57 of Exporter, released with perl 5.8.3.
The Exporter module will convert an attempt to import a number from a module into a call to $module_name->VERSION($value)
. This can be used to validate that the version of the module being used is greater than or equal to the required version.
For historical reasons, Exporter supplies a require_version
method that simply delegates to VERSION
. Originally, before UNIVERSAL::VERSION
existed, Exporter would call require_version
Since the UNIVERSAL::VERSION
method treats the $VERSION
number as a simple numeric value it will regard version 1.10 as lower than 1.9. For this reason it is strongly recommended that you use numbers with at least two decimal places, e.g., 1.09.
In some situations you may want to prevent certain symbols from being exported. Typically this applies to extensions which have functions or constants that may not exist on some systems.
The names of any symbols that cannot be exported should be listed in the @EXPORT_FAIL
If a module attempts to import any of these symbols the Exporter will give the module an opportunity to handle the situation before generating an error. The Exporter will call an export_fail method with a list of the failed symbols:
@failed_symbols = $module_name->export_fail(@failed_symbols);
If the export_fail
method returns an empty list then no error is recorded and all the requested symbols are exported. If the returned list is not empty then an error is generated for each symbol and the export fails. The Exporter provides a default export_fail
method which simply returns the list unchanged.
Uses for the export_fail
method include giving better error messages for some symbols and performing lazy architectural checks (put more symbols into @EXPORT_FAIL
by default and then take them out if someone actually tries to use them and an expensive check shows that they are usable on that platform).
Since the symbols listed within %EXPORT_TAGS
must also appear in either @EXPORT
or @EXPORT_OK
, two utility functions are provided which allow you to easily add tagged sets of symbols to @EXPORT
or @EXPORT_OK
%EXPORT_TAGS = (foo => [qw(aa bb cc)], bar => [qw(aa cc dd)]);
Exporter::export_tags('foo'); # add aa, bb and cc to @EXPORT
Exporter::export_ok_tags('bar'); # add aa, cc and dd to @EXPORT_OK
Any names which are not tags are added to @EXPORT
or @EXPORT_OK
unchanged but will trigger a warning (with -w
) to avoid misspelt tags names being silently added to @EXPORT
or @EXPORT_OK
. Future versions may make this a fatal error.
If several symbol categories exist in %EXPORT_TAGS
, it's usually useful to create the utility ":all" to simplify "use" statements.
The simplest way to do this is:
%EXPORT_TAGS = (foo => [qw(aa bb cc)], bar => [qw(aa cc dd)]);
# add all the other ":class" tags to the ":all" class,
# deleting duplicates
my %seen;
push @{$EXPORT_TAGS{all}},
grep {!$seen{$_}++} @{$EXPORT_TAGS{$_}} foreach keys %EXPORT_TAGS;
CGI.pm creates an ":all" tag which contains some (but not really all) of its categories. That could be done with one small change:
# add some of the other ":class" tags to the ":all" class,
# deleting duplicates
my %seen;
push @{$EXPORT_TAGS{all}},

foreach qw/html2 html3 netscape form cgi internal/;
Note that the tag names in %EXPORT_TAGS
don't have the leading ':'.
ed ConstantsMany modules make use of AUTOLOAD
ing for constant subroutines to avoid having to compile and waste memory on rarely used values (see perlsub for details on constant subroutines). Calls to such constant subroutines are not optimized away at compile time because they can't be checked at compile time for constancy.
Even if a prototype is available at compile time, the body of the subroutine is not (it hasn't been AUTOLOAD
ed yet). perl needs to examine both the ()
prototype and the body of a subroutine at compile time to detect that it can safely replace calls to that subroutine with the constant value.
A workaround for this is to call the constants once in a BEGIN
package My ;
use Socket ;
foo( SO_LINGER ); ## SO_LINGER NOT optimized away; called at runtime
foo( SO_LINGER ); ## SO_LINGER optimized away at compile time.
This forces the AUTOLOAD
for SO_LINGER
to take place before SO_LINGER is encountered later in My
If you are writing a package that AUTOLOAD
s, consider forcing an AUTOLOAD
for any constants explicitly imported by other packages or which are usually used when your package is use
and FriendsWhen using Exporter
with the standard strict
and warnings
pragmas, the our
keyword is needed to declare the package variables @EXPORT_OK
, etc.
our @ISA = qw(Exporter);
our @EXPORT_OK = qw(munge frobnicate);
If backward compatibility for Perls under 5.6 is important, one must write instead a use vars
use vars qw(@ISA @EXPORT_OK);
@ISA = qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT_OK = qw(munge frobnicate);
There are some caveats with the use of runtime statements like require Exporter
and the assignment to package variables, which can be very subtle for the unaware programmer. This may happen for instance with mutually recursive modules, which are affected by the time the relevant constructions are executed.
The ideal (but a bit ugly) way to never have to think about that is to use BEGIN
blocks. So the first part of the "SYNOPSIS" code could be rewritten as:
package YourModule;
use strict;
use warnings;
our (@ISA, @EXPORT_OK);
require Exporter;
@ISA = qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT_OK = qw(munge frobnicate); # symbols to export on request
The BEGIN
will assure that the loading of Exporter.pm and the assignments to @ISA
and @EXPORT_OK
happen immediately, leaving no room for something to get awry or just plain wrong.
With respect to loading Exporter
and inheriting, there are alternatives with the use of modules like base
and parent
use base qw(Exporter);
# or
use parent qw(Exporter);
Any of these statements are nice replacements for BEGIN { require Exporter; @ISA = qw(Exporter); }
with the same compile-time effect. The basic difference is that base
code interacts with declared fields
while parent
is a streamlined version of the older base
code to just establish the IS-A relationship.
For more details, see the documentation and code of base and parent.
Another thorough remedy to that runtime vs. compile-time trap is to use Exporter::Easy, which is a wrapper of Exporter that allows all boilerplate code at a single gulp in the use statement.
use Exporter::Easy (
OK => [ qw(munge frobnicate) ],
# @ISA setup is automatic
# all assignments happen at compile time
You have been warned already in "Selecting What to Export" to not export:
method names (because you don't need to and that's likely to not do what you want),
anything by default (because you don't want to surprise your users... badly)
anything you don't need to (because less is more)
There's one more item to add to this list. Do not export variable names. Just because Exporter
lets you do that, it does not mean you should.
@EXPORT_OK = qw($svar @avar %hvar); # DON'T!
Exporting variables is not a good idea. They can change under the hood, provoking horrible effects at-a-distance that are too hard to track and to fix. Trust me: they are not worth it.
To provide the capability to set/get class-wide settings, it is best instead to provide accessors as subroutines or class methods instead.
is definitely not the only module with symbol exporter capabilities. At CPAN, you may find a bunch of them. Some are lighter. Some provide improved APIs and features. Pick the one that fits your needs. The following is a sample list of such modules.
Sub::Exporter / Sub::Installer
Perl6::Export / Perl6::Export::Attrs

"No one should leap to any conclusions" about whether the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan did anything inappropriate when he was communicating with a Tampa socialite, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told reporters today.
That's one of the latest developments in the scandal surrounding now-former CIA Director David Petraeus. It's a saga that has also snared Marine Gen. John Allen, who leads U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan and is in line to become the top American commander in Europe.
As we reported Tuesday, the Pentagon is investigating Allen because of 20,000 to 30,000 pages worth of emails and other electronic communications between him and Jill Kelley, a Tampa woman who has served as a social liaison at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida. It's not clear exactly how many messages they actually exchanged. The number could be in the low hundreds. Documents and duplicate printouts may have boosted the number of pages into the tens of thousands.
Those communications were uncovered during an FBI investigation of allegedly harassing emails sent to Kelley by Paula Broadwell — a woman with whom Petraeus had an extramarital affair. The revealing of that affair led Petraeus to resign rom the CIA on Friday. (For help in keeping the characters in this story straight, see our earlier post: "Petraeus Affair Widens: Who's Who & What's What? Here's A Guide.")
NPR Pentagon correspondent Tom Bowman tells our Newscast Desk that in some of the emails from Allen to Kelley the general refers to her as "sweetheart." But, says Tom, "that ... might be innocent. He's from Virginia and that might be something of a quaint way he addressed her."
Some officials have told news outlets that there were "flirtatious" messages in the exchanges. The Associated Press adds this morning that officials who have read the emails say the messages were not sexually explicit, but that "some could be construed as unprofessional and would cause a reasonable person to take notice."
At the White House on Tuesday, spokesman Jay Carney said President Obama has confidence in Allen's ability to continue for now as the top commander in Afghanistan. Panetta reinforced that conclusion today, and added that the "hold" put on Allen's nomination to be the top U.S. and NATO commander in Europe was the "prudent" thing to do while the investigation is under way.
Related News:
Earlier today, military writer Tom Ricks was onMorning Edition. He made the case that the stress Petraeus has been under in recent years might have "taken more out of him than we thought." Petraeus gave generously to the nation with his service in Iraq and Afghanistan, Ricks said, but "when it came time for us to be generous to him we couldn't find it to forgive him."
The president, Ricks added, should have said " 'you know Dave, you really screwed up this time. You need to go home and make amends to your wife. And then your punishment, fella, is you're going back to work. ... You're too important to just be thrown out.' "
As Ricks noted, carrying on an extramarital affair did not preclude Gen. Dwight Eisenhower from being tapped to direct the D-Day invasion of Europe during World War II.
BuzzFeed's Michael Hastings, though, is no fan of Ricks' view and argues that Petraeus has long perpetuated a "fraud ... on America."
Meanwhile, some of the morning's other headlines about the Petraeus affair and related events include:
-- FBI Probes How Broadwell Obtained Classified Files. (The Washington Post)
-- "Petraeus Scandal Raises Concerns About Email Privacy." (It's All Politics)
-- "Tampa Is Seen As Social Link For Unfolding Scandal." (The New York Times)
-- "Three Women Intertwine In Downfall Of David Petraeus." (Reuters)
-- "Petraeus Friends Jill Kelley And Natalie Khawam Share Financial Troubles." (Tampa Bay Times)
Update at 5:31 p.m. ET. Broadwell Loses Security Clearance:
A U.S. official tells NPR that Paula Broadwell has suspended Paula Broadwell's security clearance.
This follows news that Jill Kelley, the other woman in the scandal, has lost her clearance to enter MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa without an escort.
"A Defense official confirms to ABC News that Kelley participated in a base program known as the 'Friends of MacDill' where she was placed on a master list that allowed her to clear security when entering the base," ABC News reported.
Update at 7:02 p.m. ET. New York Times Identifies FBI Agent:
The New York Times has identified the FBI agent who helped start the investigation that ultimately led to the resignation of CIA director David Petraeus.
The paper names Frederick W. Humphries II, 47, who the paper says is a veteran FBI agent who helped foil the millenium terrorist bombing plot in 1999.

A few days before the Oscars, Vanity Fair magazine asked Academy Awards host Neil Patrick Harris to name his most treasured possession. Was it his Tony award statuette for best leading actor in a musical? His star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame? The stethoscope he wore while playing teenaged doctor Doogie Howser on TV? No, as it turns out, the 41-year-old actor's most treasured possession is… his wisdom teeth. Yes, you read that correctly. "Oddly, I still have my four wisdom teeth," Harris said. "I refuse to let them go or I'll lose my wise parts."
How odd is it for a 41-year-old to have wisdom teeth? Actually, not that odd at all. While it is true that wisdom teeth are often removed, there's no one-size-fits-all approach to this. It all depends on whether they are causing problems now, or are likely to cause problems in the future.
The trouble wisdom teeth cause is related to the fact that they are the last molars to come in, and that molars are large in size. By the time wisdom teeth appear between the ages of 17 and 21, there often is not enough room for them in the jaw. Sometimes it's because you may have inherited a jaw size that's too small for your tooth size; and generally speaking, the size of the human jaw has evolved to become smaller over time.
If room is lacking, the adjacent molar (that came in earlier) can interfere with the path of eruption — causing the wisdom tooth to come in at an odd angle. The wisdom tooth can hit up against that other tooth, possibly causing pain or damaging the adjacent tooth. This is known as "impaction." Sometimes the wisdom tooth breaks only partway through the gum tissue, leaving a space beneath the gum line that's almost impossible to clean, causing infection. A serious oral infection can jeopardize the survival of teeth, and even spread to other parts of the body.
If a wisdom tooth is impacted, will you know it? Not necessarily. A tooth can be impacted without causing pain. But we can see the position of your wisdom teeth on a dental x-ray and help you make an informed decision as to whether they should stay or go. If removal is the best course of action, rest assured that this procedure is completely routine and that your comfort and safety is our highest priority. If there is no great risk to keeping them, as Neil Patrick Harris has done, we can simply continue to monitor their condition at your regular dental checkups. It will be particularly important to make sure you are reaching those teeth with your brush and floss, and that you keep to your schedule of regular professional cleanings at the dental office. All healthy teeth are indeed worth treasuring.
If you would like more information about wisdom teeth, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can learn more by reading the Dear Doctor magazine articles "Wisdom Teeth" and "Removing Wisdom Teeth."

Ethanol Fuel Definition: Ethanol intended for fuel use. Fuel ethanol in the United States must be anhydrous (less than 1 percent water). Fuel ethanol is denatured (made unfit for human consumption), usually prior to transport from the ethanol production facility, by adding 2 to 5 volume percent petroleum, typically pentanes plus or conventional motor gasoline. Fuel ethanol is used principally for blending in low concentrations with motor gasoline as an oxygenate or octane enhancer. In high concentrations, it is used to fuel alternative-fuel vehicles specially designed for its use.

perlrecharclass - Perl Regular Expression Character Classes
The top level documentation about Perl regular expressions is found in perlre.
This manual page discusses the syntax and use of character classes in Perl regular expressions.
A character class is a way of denoting a set of characters in such a way that one character of the set is matched. It's important to remember that: matching a character class consumes exactly one character in the source string. (The source string is the string the regular expression is matched against.)
There are three types of character classes in Perl regular expressions: the dot, backslash sequences, and the form enclosed in square brackets. Keep in mind, though, that often the term "character class" is used to mean just the bracketed form. Certainly, most Perl documentation does that.
The dot (or period), .
is probably the most used, and certainly the most well-known character class. By default, a dot matches any character, except for the newline. The default can be changed to add matching the newline by using the single line modifier: either for the entire regular expression with the /s
modifier, or locally with (?s)
. (The experimental \N
backslash sequence, described below, matches any character except newline without regard to the single line modifier.)
Here are some examples:
"a" =~ /./ # Match
"." =~ /./ # Match
"" =~ /./ # No match (dot has to match a character)
"\n" =~ /./ # No match (dot does not match a newline)
"\n" =~ /./s # Match (global 'single line' modifier)
"\n" =~ /(?s:.)/ # Match (local 'single line' modifier)
"ab" =~ /^.$/ # No match (dot matches one character)
A backslash sequence is a sequence of characters, the first one of which is a backslash. Perl ascribes special meaning to many such sequences, and some of these are character classes. That is, they match a single character each, provided that the character belongs to the specific set of characters defined by the sequence.
Here's a list of the backslash sequences that are character classes. They are discussed in more detail below. (For the backslash sequences that aren't character classes, see perlrebackslash.)
\d Match a decimal digit character.
\D Match a non-decimal-digit character.
\w Match a "word" character.
\W Match a non-"word" character.
\s Match a whitespace character.
\S Match a non-whitespace character.
\h Match a horizontal whitespace character.
\H Match a character that isn't horizontal whitespace.
\v Match a vertical whitespace character.
\V Match a character that isn't vertical whitespace.
\N Match a character that isn't a newline. Experimental.
\pP, \p{Prop} Match a character that has the given Unicode property.
\PP, \P{Prop} Match a character that doesn't have the Unicode property
matches a single character considered to be a decimal digit. If the /a
modifier in effect, it matches [0-9]. Otherwise, it matches anything that is matched by \p{Digit}
, which includes [0-9]. (An unlikely possible exception is that under locale matching rules, the current locale might not have [0-9] matched by \d
, and/or might match other characters whose code point is less than 256. Such a locale definition would be in violation of the C language standard, but Perl doesn't currently assume anything in regard to this.)
What this means is that unless the /a
modifier is in effect \d
not only matches the digits '0' - '9', but also Arabic, Devanagari, and digits from other languages. This may cause some confusion, and some security issues.
Some digits that \d
matches look like some of the [0-9] ones, but have different values. For example, BENGALI DIGIT FOUR (U+09EA) looks very much like an ASCII DIGIT EIGHT (U+0038). An application that is expecting only the ASCII digits might be misled, or if the match is \d+
, the matched string might contain a mixture of digits from different writing systems that look like they signify a number different than they actually do. "num()" in Unicode::UCD can be used to safely calculate the value, returning undef
if the input string contains such a mixture.
What \p{Digit}
means (and hence \d
except under the /a
modifier) is \p{General_Category=Decimal_Number}
, or synonymously, \p{General_Category=Digit}
. Starting with Unicode version 4.1, this is the same set of characters matched by \p{Numeric_Type=Decimal}
. But Unicode also has a different property with a similar name, \p{Numeric_Type=Digit}
, which matches a completely different set of characters. These characters are things such as CIRCLED DIGIT ONE
or subscripts, or are from writing systems that lack all ten digits.
The design intent is for \d
to exactly match the set of characters that can safely be used with "normal" big-endian positional decimal syntax, where, for example 123 means one 'hundred', plus two 'tens', plus three 'ones'. This positional notation does not necessarily apply to characters that match the other type of "digit", \p{Numeric_Type=Digit}
, and so \d
doesn't match them.
In Unicode 5.2, the Tamil digits (U+0BE6 - U+0BEF) can also legally be used in old-style Tamil numbers in which they would appear no more than one in a row, separated by characters that mean "times 10", "times 100", etc. (See http://www.unicode.org/notes/tn21.)
Any character not matched by \d
is matched by \D
A \w
matches a single alphanumeric character (an alphabetic character, or a decimal digit) or a connecting punctuation character, such as an underscore ("_"). It does not match a whole word. To match a whole word, use \w+
. This isn't the same thing as matching an English word, but in the ASCII range it is the same as a string of Perl-identifier characters.
modifier is in effect ...\w
matches the 63 characters [a-zA-Z0-9_].
matches the same as \p{Word}
matches in this range. That is, it matches Thai letters, Greek letters, etc. This includes connector punctuation (like the underscore) which connect two words together, or diacritics, such as a COMBINING TILDE
and the modifier letters, which are generally used to add auxiliary markings to letters.
Which rules apply are determined as described in "Which character set modifier is in effect?" in perlre.
There are a number of security issues with the full Unicode list of word characters. See http://unicode.org/reports/tr36.
Also, for a somewhat finer-grained set of characters that are in programming language identifiers beyond the ASCII range, you may wish to instead use the more customized Unicode properties, "ID_Start", ID_Continue", "XID_Start", and "XID_Continue". See http://unicode.org/reports/tr31.

matches any character not considered horizontal whitespace.
matches any character considered vertical whitespace; this includes the carriage return and line feed characters (newline) plus several other characters, all listed in the table below. \V
matches any character not considered vertical whitespace.
matches anything that can be considered a newline under Unicode rules. It's not a character class, as it can match a multi-character sequence. Therefore, it cannot be used inside a bracketed character class; use \v
instead (vertical whitespace). Details are discussed in perlrebackslash.
Note that unlike \s
(and \d
and \w
), \h
and \v
always match the same characters, without regard to other factors, such as whether the source string is in UTF-8 format.
One might think that \s
is equivalent to [\h\v]
. This is not true. For example, the vertical tab ("\x0b"
) is not matched by \s
, it is however considered vertical whitespace.
The following table is a complete listing of characters matched by \s
, \h
and \v
as of Unicode 6.0.
The first column gives the code point of the character (in hex format), the second column gives the (Unicode) name. The third column indicates by which class(es) the character is matched (assuming no locale or EBCDIC code page is in effect that changes the \s

is new in 5.12, and is experimental. It, like the dot, matches any character that is not a newline. The difference is that \N
is not influenced by the single line regular expression modifier (see "The dot" above). Note that the form \N{...}
may mean something completely different. When the {...}
is a quantifier, it means to match a non-newline character that many times. For example, \N{3}
means to match 3 non-newlines; \N{5,}
means to match 5 or more non-newlines. But if {...}
is not a legal quantifier, it is presumed to be a named character. See charnames for those. For example, none of \N{COLON}
, and \N{F4}
contain legal quantifiers, so Perl will try to find characters whose names are respectively COLON
, and F4
and \p{Prop}
are character classes to match characters that fit given Unicode properties. One letter property names can be used in the \pP
form, with the property name following the \p
, otherwise, braces are required. When using braces, there is a single form, which is just the property name enclosed in the braces, and a compound form which looks like \p{name=value}
, which means to match if the property "name" for the character has that particular "value". For instance, a match for a number can be written as /\pN/
or as /\p{Number}/
, or as /\p{Number=True}/
. Lowercase letters are matched by the property Lowercase_Letter which has as short form Ll. They need the braces, so are written as /\p{Ll}/
or /\p{Lowercase_Letter}/
, or /\p{General_Category=Lowercase_Letter}/
(the underscores are optional). /\pLl/
is valid, but means something different. It matches a two character string: a letter (Unicode property \pL
), followed by a lowercase l
If neither the /a
modifier nor locale rules are in effect, the use of a Unicode property will force the regular expression into using Unicode rules.
Note that almost all properties are immune to case-insensitive matching. That is, adding a /i
regular expression modifier does not change what they match. There are two sets that are affected. The first set is Uppercase_Letter
, Lowercase_Letter
, and Titlecase_Letter
, all of which match Cased_Letter
under /i
matching. The second set is Uppercase
, Lowercase
, and Titlecase
, all of which match Cased
under /i
matching. (The difference between these sets is that some things, such as Roman Numerals, come in both upper and lower case so they are Cased
, but aren't considered to be letters, so they aren't Cased_Letter
s. They're actually Letter_Number
s.) This set also includes its subsets PosixUpper
and PosixLower
, both of which under /i
matching match PosixAlpha
For more details on Unicode properties, see "Unicode Character Properties" in perlunicode; for a complete list of possible properties, see "Properties accessible through \p{} and \P{}" in perluniprops, which notes all forms that have /i
differences. It is also possible to define your own properties. This is discussed in "User-Defined Character Properties" in perlunicode.
"a" =~ /\w/ # Match, "a" is a 'word' character.
"7" =~ /\w/ # Match, "7" is a 'word' character as well.
"a" =~ /\d/ # No match, "a" isn't a digit.
"7" =~ /\d/ # Match, "7" is a digit.
" " =~ /\s/ # Match, a space is whitespace.
"a" =~ /\D/ # Match, "a" is a non-digit.
"7" =~ /\D/ # No match, "7" is not a non-digit.
" " =~ /\S/ # No match, a space is not non-whitespace.
" " =~ /\h/ # Match, space is horizontal whitespace.
" " =~ /\v/ # No match, space is not vertical whitespace.
"\r" =~ /\v/ # Match, a return is vertical whitespace.
"a" =~ /\pL/ # Match, "a" is a letter.
"a" =~ /\p{Lu}/ # No match, /\p{Lu}/ matches upper case letters.
"\x{0e0b}" =~ /\p{Thai}/ # Match, \x{0e0b} is the character
# 'THAI CHARACTER SO SO', and that's in
# Thai Unicode class.
"a" =~ /\P{Lao}/ # Match, as "a" is not a Laotian character.
It is worth emphasizing that \d
, \w
, etc, match single characters, not complete numbers or words. To match a number (that consists of digits), use \d+
; to match a word, use \w+
. But be aware of the security considerations in doing so, as mentioned above.
The third form of character class you can use in Perl regular expressions is the bracketed character class. In its simplest form, it lists the characters that may be matched, surrounded by square brackets, like this: [aeiou]
. This matches one of a
, e
, i
, o
or u
. Like the other character classes, exactly one character is matched.* To match a longer string consisting of characters mentioned in the character class, follow the character class with a quantifier. For instance, [aeiou]+
matches one or more lowercase English vowels.
Repeating a character in a character class has no effect; it's considered to be in the set only once.
"e" =~ /[aeiou]/ # Match, as "e" is listed in the class.
"p" =~ /[aeiou]/ # No match, "p" is not listed in the class.
"ae" =~ /^[aeiou]$/ # No match, a character class only matches
# a single character.
"ae" =~ /^[aeiou]+$/ # Match, due to the quantifier.
* There is an exception to a bracketed character class matching only a single character. When the class is to match caselessely under /i
matching rules, and a character inside the class matches a multiple-character sequence caselessly under Unicode rules, the class (when not inverted) will also match that sequence. For example, Unicode says that the letter LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S
should match the sequence ss
under /i
rules. Thus,
'ss' =~ /\A\N{LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S}\z/i # Matches
'ss' =~ /\A[aeioust\N{LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S}]\z/i # Matches
Most characters that are meta characters in regular expressions (that is, characters that carry a special meaning like .
, *
, or (
) lose their special meaning and can be used inside a character class without the need to escape them. For instance, [()]
matches either an opening parenthesis, or a closing parenthesis, and the parens inside the character class don't group or capture.
Characters that may carry a special meaning inside a character class are: \
, ^
, -
, [
and ]
, and are discussed below. They can be escaped with a backslash, although this is sometimes not needed, in which case the backslash may be omitted.
The sequence \b
is special inside a bracketed character class. While outside the character class, \b
is an assertion indicating a point that does not have either two word characters or two non-word characters on either side, inside a bracketed character class, \b
matches a backspace character.
The sequences \a
, \c
, \e
, \f
, \n
, \N{U+hex char}
, \r
, \t
, and \x
are also special and have the same meanings as they do outside a bracketed character class. (However, inside a bracketed character class, if \N{NAME}
expands to a sequence of characters, only the first one in the sequence is used, with a warning.)
Also, a backslash followed by two or three octal digits is considered an octal number.
is not special inside a character class, unless it's the start of a POSIX character class (see "POSIX Character Classes" below). It normally does not need escaping.
is normally either the end of a POSIX character class (see "POSIX Character Classes" below), or it signals the end of the bracketed character class. If you want to include a ]
in the set of characters, you must generally escape it.
However, if the ]
is the first (or the second if the first character is a caret) character of a bracketed character class, it does not denote the end of the class (as you cannot have an empty class) and is considered part of the set of characters that can be matched without escaping.
"+" =~ /[+?*]/ # Match, "+" in a character class is not special.
"\cH" =~ /[\b]/ # Match, \b inside in a character class
# is equivalent to a backspace.
"]" =~ /[][]/ # Match, as the character class contains.
# both [ and ].
"[]" =~ /[[]]/ # Match, the pattern contains a character class
# containing just ], and the character class is
# followed by a ].
It is not uncommon to want to match a range of characters. Luckily, instead of listing all characters in the range, one may use the hyphen (-
). If inside a bracketed character class you have two characters separated by a hyphen, it's treated as if all characters between the two were in the class. For instance, [0-9]
matches any ASCII digit, and [a-m]
matches any lowercase letter from the first half of the old ASCII alphabet.
Note that the two characters on either side of the hyphen are not necessarily both letters or both digits. Any character is possible, although not advisable. ['-?]
contains a range of characters, but most people will not know which characters that means. Furthermore, such ranges may lead to portability problems if the code has to run on a platform that uses a different character set, such as EBCDIC.
If a hyphen in a character class cannot syntactically be part of a range, for instance because it is the first or the last character of the character class, or if it immediately follows a range, the hyphen isn't special, and so is considered a character to be matched literally. If you want a hyphen in your set of characters to be matched and its position in the class is such that it could be considered part of a range, you must escape that hyphen with a backslash.
[a-z] # Matches a character that is a lower case ASCII letter.
[a-fz] # Matches any letter between 'a' and 'f' (inclusive) or
# the letter 'z'.
[-z] # Matches either a hyphen ('-') or the letter 'z'.
[a-f-m] # Matches any letter between 'a' and 'f' (inclusive), the
# hyphen ('-'), or the letter 'm'.
['-?] # Matches any of the characters '()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?
# (But not on an EBCDIC platform).
It is also possible to instead list the characters you do not want to match. You can do so by using a caret (^
) as the first character in the character class. For instance, [^a-z]
matches any character that is not a lowercase ASCII letter, which therefore includes almost a hundred thousand Unicode letters. The class is said to be "negated" or "inverted".
This syntax make the caret a special character inside a bracketed character class, but only if it is the first character of the class. So if you want the caret as one of the characters to match, either escape the caret or else not list it first.
In inverted bracketed character classes, Perl ignores the Unicode rules that normally say that a given character matches a sequence of multiple characters under caseless /i
matching, which otherwise could be highly confusing:
"ss" =~ /^[^\xDF]+$/ui;
This should match any sequences of characters that aren't \xDF
nor what \xDF
matches under /i
. "s"
isn't \xDF
, but Unicode says that "ss"
is what \xDF
matches under /i
. So which one "wins"? Do you fail the match because the string has ss
or accept it because it has an s
followed by another s
"e" =~ /[^aeiou]/ # No match, the 'e' is listed.
"x" =~ /[^aeiou]/ # Match, as 'x' isn't a lowercase vowel.
"^" =~ /[^^]/ # No match, matches anything that isn't a caret.
"^" =~ /[x^]/ # Match, caret is not special here.
You can put any backslash sequence character class (with the exception of \N
and \R
) inside a bracketed character class, and it will act just as if you had put all characters matched by the backslash sequence inside the character class. For instance, [a-f\d]
matches any decimal digit, or any of the lowercase letters between 'a' and 'f' inclusive.
within a bracketed character class must be of the forms \N{name}
or \N{U+hex char}
, and NOT be the form that matches non-newlines, for the same reason that a dot .
inside a bracketed character class loses its special meaning: it matches nearly anything, which generally isn't what you want to happen.
/[\p{Thai}\d]/ # Matches a character that is either a Thai
# character, or a digit.
/[^\p{Arabic}()]/ # Matches a character that is neither an Arabic
# character, nor a parenthesis.
Backslash sequence character classes cannot form one of the endpoints of a range. Thus, you can't say:
/[\p{Thai}-\d]/ # Wrong!
POSIX character classes have the form [:class:]
, where class is name, and the [:
and :]
delimiters. POSIX character classes only appear inside bracketed character classes, and are a convenient and descriptive way of listing a group of characters.
Be careful about the syntax,
# Correct:
$string =~ /[[:alpha:]]/
# Incorrect (will warn):
$string =~ /[:alpha:]/
The latter pattern would be a character class consisting of a colon, and the letters a
, l
, p
and h
. POSIX character classes can be part of a larger bracketed character class. For example,
is valid and matches '0', '1', any alphabetic character, and the percent sign.
Perl recognizes the following POSIX character classes:
alpha Any alphabetical character ("[A-Za-z]").
alnum Any alphanumeric character. ("[A-Za-z0-9]")
ascii Any character in the ASCII character set.
blank A GNU extension, equal to a space or a horizontal tab ("\t").
cntrl Any control character. See Note [2] below.
digit Any decimal digit ("[0-9]"), equivalent to "\d".
graph Any printable character, excluding a space. See Note [3] below.
lower Any lowercase character ("[a-z]").
print Any printable character, including a space. See Note [4] below.
punct Any graphical character excluding "word" characters. Note [5].
space Any whitespace character. "\s" plus the vertical tab ("\cK").
upper Any uppercase character ("[A-Z]").
word A Perl extension ("[A-Za-z0-9_]"), equivalent to "\w".
xdigit Any hexadecimal digit ("[0-9a-fA-F]").
Most POSIX character classes have two Unicode-style \p
property counterparts. (They are not official Unicode properties, but Perl extensions derived from official Unicode properties.) The table below shows the relation between POSIX character classes and these counterparts.
One counterpart, in the column labelled "ASCII-range Unicode" in the table, matches only characters in the ASCII character set.
The other counterpart, in the column labelled "Full-range Unicode", matches any appropriate characters in the full Unicode character set. For example, \p{Alpha}
matches not just the ASCII alphabetic characters, but any character in the entire Unicode character set considered alphabetic. The column labelled "backslash sequence" is a (short) synonym for the Full-range Unicode form.
(Each of the counterparts has various synonyms as well. "Properties accessible through \p{} and \P{}" in perluniprops lists all synonyms, plus all characters matched by each ASCII-range property. For example, \p{AHex}
is a synonym for \p{ASCII_Hex_Digit}
, and any \p
property name can be prefixed with "Is" such as \p{IsAlpha}
Both the \p
counterparts always assume Unicode rules are in effect. On ASCII platforms, this means they assume that the code points from 128 to 255 are Latin-1, and that means that using them under locale rules is unwise unless the locale is guaranteed to be Latin-1 or UTF-8. In contrast, the POSIX character classes are useful under locale rules. They are affected by the actual rules in effect, as follows:
modifier, is in effect ...Each of the POSIX classes matches exactly the same as their ASCII-range counterparts.
Which rules apply are determined as described in "Which character set modifier is in effect?" in perlre.
It is proposed to change this behavior in a future release of Perl so that whether or not Unicode rules are in effect would not change the behavior: Outside of locale or an EBCDIC code page, the POSIX classes would behave like their ASCII-range counterparts. If you wish to comment on this proposal, send email to firstname.lastname@example.com
[[:...:]] ASCII-range Full-range backslash Note

are synonyms.
Control characters don't produce output as such, but instead usually control the terminal somehow: for example, newline and backspace are control characters. In the ASCII range, characters whose code points are between 0 and 31 inclusive, plus 127 (DEL
) are control characters.
On EBCDIC platforms, it is likely that the code page will define [[:cntrl:]]
to be the EBCDIC equivalents of the ASCII controls, plus the controls that in Unicode have code pointss from 128 through 159.
Any character that is graphical, that is, visible. This class consists of all alphanumeric characters and all punctuation characters.
All printable characters, which is the set of all graphical characters plus those whitespace characters which are not also controls.
and [[:punct:]]
in the ASCII range match all non-controls, non-alphanumeric, non-space characters: [-!"#$%&'()*+,./:;<=>?@[\\\]^_`{|}~]
(although if a locale is in effect, it could alter the behavior of [[:punct:]]
The similarly named property, \p{Punct}
, matches a somewhat different set in the ASCII range, namely [-!"#%&'()*,./:;?@[\\\]_{}]
. That is, it is missing [$+<=>^`|~]
. This is because Unicode splits what POSIX considers to be punctuation into two categories, Punctuation and Symbols.
and (in Unicode mode) [[:punct:]]
, match what \p{PosixPunct}
matches in the ASCII range, plus what \p{Punct}
matches. This is different than strictly matching according to \p{Punct}
. Another way to say it is that if Unicode rules are in effect, [[:punct:]]
matches all characters that Unicode considers punctuation, plus all ASCII-range characters that Unicode considers symbols.
and \p{Space}
differ only in that in non-locale matching, \p{Space}
additionally matches the vertical tab, \cK
. Same for the two ASCII-only range forms.
There are various other synonyms that can be used for these besides \p{HorizSpace}
and \\p{XPosixBlank}
. For example, \p{PosixAlpha}
can be written as \p{Alpha}
. All are listed in "Properties accessible through \p{} and \P{}" in perluniprops.
A Perl extension to the POSIX character class is the ability to negate it. This is done by prefixing the class name with a caret (^
). Some examples:
POSIX ASCII-range Full-range backslash
Unicode Unicode sequence
[[:^digit:]] \P{PosixDigit} \P{XPosixDigit} \D
[[:^space:]] \P{PosixSpace} \P{XPosixSpace}
\P{PerlSpace} \P{XPerlSpace} \S
[[:^word:]] \P{PerlWord} \P{XPosixWord} \W
The backslash sequence can mean either ASCII- or Full-range Unicode, depending on various factors as described in "Which character set modifier is in effect?" in perlre.
Perl recognizes the POSIX character classes [=class=]
and [.class.]
, but does not (yet?) support them. Any attempt to use either construct raises an exception.
/[[:digit:]]/ # Matches a character that is a digit.
/[01[:lower:]]/ # Matches a character that is either a
# lowercase letter, or '0' or '1'.
/[[:digit:][:^xdigit:]]/ # Matches a character that can be anything
# except the letters 'a' to 'f'. This is
# because the main character class is composed
# of two POSIX character classes that are ORed
# together, one that matches any digit, and
# the other that matches anything that isn't a
# hex digit. The result matches all
# characters except the letters 'a' to 'f' and
# 'A' to 'F'.

See Insurify's Greenest Cities Award Winners
Earth Day is just around the corner. So, which cities stack up as the most eco-friendly?
There is never a bad time of year to focus on our relationship with the environment. However, as Earth Day and the rejuvenation of Spring approach, our responsibility to our planet may seem all the more pressing.
As greenhouse gas levels continue to rise and temperatures warm, the planet increasingly faces consequences such as less nutritious crops and more severe weather patterns. Many of these emissions come from the transportation sector, with personal automobiles as a prominent contributor. In addition to driving greener vehicles, there are other factors that can help protect the environment as well, such as investing in renewable energy, cleaner air, greater park space, and a more compact physical footprint. Not all communities do their fair share in going eco-friendly. Some cities see a high share of environmentally-conscious vehicles while others devote more effort toward other green endeavors (some invest in neither). Which are those select few that perform strongly in both?
To honor our planet, Insurify decided to recognize the cities that epitomize eco-friendly driving and living in each state. Here are the winners of Insurify's 2019 Greenest Cities Awards!
Selection Process for Insurify's 2019 Greenest Cities Awards
To find the most environmentally-conscious cities by state, data scientists at Insurify used a combination of proprietary automotive data and external sources. To begin, Insurify analyzed its database of over 1.6 million car insurance applications to rank each state's cities by their collective vehicular carbon footprint. States with insufficient city data were omitted from the analysis. The scoring algorithm factored in fuel-efficiency, engine displacement, drivetrain, annual mileage, and vehicles per household to identify the top five cities per state for greenest drivers. Following this, the data team added scoring boosts in accordance with statistics on citywide renewable electricity programs, park quality, urban sprawl, and air quality index to determine the number one most eco-friendly city in each state. The relative weight of each environmental impact in the algorithm was informed in part by Drawdown Solution's ranking of various green reforms.
Input | Impact |
Fuel Efficiency | More fuel-efficient engine types such as hybrids and EVs have a lower impact on the environment. |
Engine Displacement | Traditionally, larger engines have been more polluting. |
Drivetrain | Drivetrain (4×4, AWD, RWD, FWD) impacts fuel consumption. |
Annual Mileage | Lower mileage reduces impact. |
Vehicles per Household | Lower vehicle-to-driver ratio reduces overall household impact. |
The results display a list ranging from small towns to large metropolitan areas – all commendable in their commitment to green living and driving.
