    Test before contradicting someone. 

    print('*' =~ /^[*]$/ ? 'match' : 'no match', "\n");  # match
print(']' =~ /^[*]$/ ? 'match' : 'no match', "\n");  # no match
print(''  =~ /^[*]$/ ? 'match' : 'no match', "\n");  # no match

    Only \, ^ (depending on position), - (depending on position), ], the sequence [:...:] and the regexp delimiter are special in character classes.

[d/l]
[select]
      I'd add

      perl -e "print (';' =~ /[];]/ ?'match':'nomatch');" prints "match"

      the ] is also depending on position

      update: fixed typo
[reply]
[d/l]
[select]
