in reply to Issue with regex

eq is used for string equality. Use the binding operator =~ to bind a regular expression match against a variable: 
$fileName =~ /^\._/;

BTW, as you can see, there's no need to add .* at the end, as the regex doesn't have to match the whole string.

See perlop for details.

($q=q:Sq=~/;[c](.)(.)/;chr(-||-|5+lengthSq)`"S|oS2"`map{chr |+ord
}map{substrSq`S_+|`|}3E|-|`7**2-3:)=~y+S|`+$1,++print+eval$q,q,a,
