Bug#562101: psh fails to properly evaluate regular expressions

[Marcos Marado <marcos.marado@sonae.com>]

Package: psh
Version: 1.8-9
Severity: normal


Hi there,

I admit that this can be stupidity on my side, failing to see what's wrong
here, but I think it also might be a bug...

Look at this log, please:

bash$ perl -e '$a=10518; if ($a =~ /\d+/) {print "yes\n";} else {print "no\n";}'
yes
bash$ psh
psh% $a=10518; if ($a =~ /\d+/) {print "yes\n";} else {print "no\n";}
no
psh%

Any reason why psh doesn't think that $a is composed of digits?

Thanks,
Marcos Marado
