  files in t/comment.
+ t/Common.pm now also tests OO and sub versions.
+ Fixed regex for J comments.

  version is older than 5.005_03, as they triggered bugs. 5.005_03
  and more recent versions of Perl don't have this problem.

+ 134 patterns in 11 classes and 12 subclasses.

Version 2.113 Wed Apr  2 22:58:46 2003
+ INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE!
  Regexp::Common used to set $; to '='. This no longer happens, because
  setting $; breaks Filter::Simple. (Report by Tim Maher).
  This means that regexps of the form $RE{foo}{"-flag=value"} no longer work!
  They need to be written as $RE{foo}{"-flag$;value"} or as
  $RE{foo}{-flag => "value"}.

  When defining patterns using the pattern function, a = still needs to be
  used to separate the flag from its default value. This has not been changed.

  We are very sorry for the inconvenience.
+ 157762 tests in 44 files.
+ 127 patterns in 11 classes and 12 subclasses.

  interface and want to be able to match case insensitive.
  (Request from Tim Maher).
+ Introduced the -nospace switch for $RE{net}{domain} (Request from Juerd).
+ Decimal numbers.
+ WAIS URIs.
