I can understand the fix for the MAGIC string, but \w is standard Perl. A lot of things will break if Perl no longer supports \w.

I am not working with git. These are pkgsrc patches.

I can understand the fix for the MAGIC string, but `\w` is standard Perl. A _lot_ of things will break if Perl no longer supports `\w`.

It is probably a bug in Perl introduced by the changes to libc. It may be a simple matter of including REG_GNU in the regcomp flags, but that is going to introduce yet another #if. Aran

Okay thanks.

I will fix the MAGIC string, but will leave the Perl code alone for now.
