Package: libregexp-assemble-perl
Version: 0.34-5
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Dear Xavier,
translating the package description to German I found the description still
talking about perl 5.10 as something in the future. But 5.10 ist part of
Debian since Lenny.
The attached patch for debian/control fixes the issue.
I built the package on lenny with
ii debhelper 8.0.0~bpo50+2 helper programs for debian/rules
and checked it with
ii lintian 2.4.3~bpo50+1 Debian package checker.
Kind regards
Martin

You should realise that large numbers of alternations are processed
in perl's regular expression engine in O(n) time, not O(1). If you
are still having performance problems, you should look at using a

- perl 5.9.3 if you want to try them out). Regexp::Assemble will

(At least in some version after this one).
