in thread Why is $a.$b not = "$a$b"?
Thank you tybalt89!
Right?
Good answer! Short, but good.
To expand on that, Perl's operator precedence has '=~' higher than '.'.
So to get the '.' notation to work as I want it to, I assume I should (parenthesise) it, like this:
'eq' is lower than both of those, which explains why my 'eq' tests worked as I expected.$ perl -e '$a="A";$b="B";print "Matches!\n" if ($a.$b) =~ /A/' Matches! $ perl -e '$a="A";$b="B";print "Matches!\n" if ($a.$b) =~ /C/'
Right?
