Thanks for the response. It came down to a simple logic error. In this code:
my $start_iter;
if ( $iter->starts_word ) {
$start_iter = $iter;
} else {
$iter->backward_word_start;
$start_iter = $iter;
}
$iter->forward_word_end;
... I set $start_iter to be $iter. This *doesn't* make a copy of the
iter ... so when I call $iter->backward_word_start or
$iter->forward_word_end ... both $start_iter and $iter are pointing to
the same position. The correct method of getting 2 iters ( eg for
'start' and 'end' ) is to create them independently.
