octave: Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here

Reported by: deldotvee Owned by: mojca (Mojca Miklavec)

Component: ports Version: 2.5.4
Keywords: Cc: MarcusCalhoun-Lopez (Marcus Calhoun-Lopez), mojca (Mojca Miklavec)
Port: octave texinfo perl5.28

Description (last modified by mf2k (Frank Schima))

Something seems to be broken in texinfo during the update to perl5.28, but it only shows up for me dependably when I invoke the help function in octave. The message I get goes like this:

 //Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal in Perl 5.32), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^\s+@([[:alnum:]][[:alnum:]\-]*)({ <-- HERE })?\s*/ at /opt/local/share/texinfo/Texinfo/Parser.pm line 5481.
