Hi
I'm trying to get a regular expression to pass the results of a regular expression substitution into a method argument.
Rather than just make a temporary variable and do the substitution on that, and then pass that to the function, is there any way I can do the substitution as part of the argument list, eg:
$word = 'BLAHBLAH';
print blah(s/BLAH/COW/);
print "$word\n";
sub blah {
my $stuff = shift;
print "$stuff\n";
}
I want to keep the blah method as general as possible, and don't want to add the regular expression there. This is purely a style issue (as I think something like this would look much nicer than having to use one-off variables)

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
