Bug in wml?

[nospam@thanx]

Hi all,

The following piece of WML gives a compilation error whenever the body of
the "bid" tag matches the Perl regexp \d.*.  Is that a bug in wml or 
am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
RG


<define-tag bid>
<:
    $bid = %body;
	#Some other piece of code that is irrelevant
:>
</define-tag>

#Gives a compilation error if the argument to "bid" is of form
#"\d.*"
<bid 2C>

Output of wml after running "wml filename" on this file:

ePerl:Error: Perl parsing error (interpreter rc=255)
