qr was added in Perl 5.005_03. If you're running
anything older than that, you should consider an upgrade, as
previous versions are considered buggy.
my @regexes = ('HELLO(\w+)', 'hello(\w+)', 'Hello(\w+)');
for my $re (@regexes) {
$re =~ s!/!\/!; # escape delimiters
my $eval = '$string =~ /' . $re . '/;';
if ( eval $eval ) {
print "$string matches $re\n";
}
}
It's an ugly hack, and I would very much prefer it if you would promote
world peace, fight hunger and help stop global warming by upgrading your
version of Perl.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
