| 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.
