Hello
Try reading in perlop about the qr operator. Here is an example about how it can be used:
my $String="1234A4321";
my $RegEx=qr/a/i;
$String =~ $RegEx;
print "Match: ",$&||"none"," Pre: ",$`||"none"," Post: ",$'||"none","\
+n";
# Match: A Pre: 1234 Post: 4321
Hope this helps,,,
Aziz,,,
Update: Yes, you got the right idea there using $re = eval "qr$regexp_val"; Make sure you trust the source of your regexp before feeding it to eval.

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).
