in thread removing C style comments from text files

you can use brace in place of traditional // in match 
m{ } <=> m/ /
and in searchreplace
s{what}{replace}imsogxe <=> s/what/replace/imsogxe

[download]
in perlretut you have these examples. "/World/", "m!World!", and "m{World}" all represent the same thing. so the empty Brace means "replace with nothing"
