Class MalformedPerl5PatternException

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable

public final class MalformedPerl5PatternException extends MalformedCachePatternException
An exception used to indicate errors in Perl style regular expressions. It is derived from RuntimeException, and therefore does not have to be caught. You should generally make an effort to catch MalformedPerl5PatternException whenever you use dynamically generated patterns (from user input or some other source). Static expressions represented as strings in your source code don't require exception handling because as you write and test run your program you will correct any errors in those expressions when you run into an uncaught MalformedPerl5PatternException. By the time you complete your project, those static expressions will be guaranteed to be correct. However, pieces of code with expressions that you cannot guarantee to be correct should catch MalformedPerl5PatternException to ensure reliability.
