-libregexp-grammars-perl (1.033-1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
-
-  Warning: Regexp::Grammars is currently unsupported under Perl 5.18.
-
-  Perl 5.18 changed how 'qr' constant overloadings are parsed and the
-  scope in which they are subsequently compiled. This change currently
-  make it impossible to reliably create 'qr' overloadings that inject
-  code blocks into a regex, as it prevents the overloaded regexes from
-  compiling properly in many cases, even with an explicit 'use re
-  "eval"' in scope.
-
-  These problems have been reported, and the brave volunteers of P5P are
-  currently working on fixes. However, these will not be available until
-  at least 5.18.2.
-
-  Because Regexp::Grammars relies on 'qr' overloads to inject code blocks
-  into regexes, the module is curently not compatible with Perl 5.18. It
-  may continue to work in some limited cases, but is no longer reliable.
-
-  At present, if you rely on Regexp::Grammars for your parsing needs, your
-  alternatives are either not to upgrade to Perl 5.18, to livce with the
-  problems until they are resolved (in Perl 5.18.2, we hope), or else to
-  consider switching to another parsing system, such as Marpa.
-
-  We deeply regret that Regexp::Grammars cannot currently be maintained
-  completelt due to these backwards-incompatible changes and bugs in
-  Perl 5.18.
