non-grapheme delimiters not properly prohibited

Subject:
non-grapheme delimiters not properly prohibited
Message ID:
5.37.9_5104_1678261581@barba.rous.org

This is a bug report for perl from zefram@fysh.org,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.43 running under perl 5.37.9.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
<!--[Please describe your issue here]-->

perldiag\(1\) and perldeprecation\(1\) say that quotelike constructs no
longer \(since Perl 5\.30\) permit the use of a delimiter that doesn\'t
constitute a complete grapheme\. This prohibition doesn\'t entirely
work\. Suppose I use a vertical bar as a delimiter\, with the character
immediately following the opening delimiter being a combining
circumflex\, such that the two characters combine into a single
grapheme\:

```
$ perl -lwe $'use utf8; print length(q|\xcc\x82foo|)'
4
```

Perl is aware that there isn\'t a grapheme cluster boundary there\:

```
$ perl -lwe $'use utf8; print "|\xcc\x82" =~ /.\\b{gcb}./ ? "yes" : "no"'
no
```
