In the course of investigating the status of RT 132577 re
Module​::Install, I happened to notice that blead was breaking Jcode
version 2.07. With the following bisection command​:

#####
perl Porting/bisect.pl --start=9a15f8566d548de2162909bc3ee39a6486eb616f
--module=Jcode
#####

... I was able to identify the breaking commit​:

ff8b8b4 is the first bad commit

regexec.c​: Use first byte info in ANYOFH

Commit 765e6ec changed
ANYOFH regnodes to note if the first byte of all code
points matched is the same. When that is the case we can
potentially speed up matching by only trying to match at
points in the input where that byte occurs. Since ANYOFH
nodes match only UTF-8 encoded strings, that first byte is
going to be a UTF-8 start byte. If that is uncommon in the
target string, this is a real winner.

Some test output​:

#####
t/perl581.t .. ok

# Failed test 'm//'
# at t/regex.t line 21.
# got​: '¤Ã¤¿'
# expected​: '¤Ò¤é¤¬¤Ê¤Î'
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 7.
t/regex.t ....
Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
Failed 1/7 subtests
