SYNOPSIS¶

}
DESCRIPTION¶
Please consult the manual of Regexp::Common for a general description of the
works of this interface.
Do not use this module directly, but load it via
Regexp::Common.
$RE{lingua}{palindrome}¶
Returns a pattern that recognizes a palindrome, a string that is the same if you
reverse it. By default, it only matches strings consisting of letters, but
this can be changed using the "{-chars}" option. This option takes a
character class (default is "[A-Za-z]") as argument.
If "{-keep}" is used, only $1 will be set, and set to the entire
match.
This pattern requires at least perl 5.6.0.
