Last Update: BrowserUK: this reproduces the errors, err, warnings I've received
perl -e 'use warnings; $teste=q(\Qfoo\E);print 42 if "(foo" =~ m/\b$t +este\b/'



1. The "\b" is not the problem... It used to work before my "\Q...\E" problem.
update: At least I thought I worked. All my regexes should have \b...\b as boundaries... I think if they were interpreted as backspaces, the entire regex would never match (text don't have backspaces), and we would've noticed the absence of filtering. (the program is a kind of filter)

2. The code is a real copy-paste from my program. What i've ommited was unimportant (for example, DB queries, what i do with the return value, etc...).

3. I don't know why you say the content of $regex has to have "double slashes"... below is an example where the content of $x has only 1 slash and the printed version has 1 slash too

perl -e '$x = q(\b); $y = "$x"; print $y'
Update:Ok, I know the two, '\b' and "\\b" are equivalent. The point is, there is no "..." involved. I think when i get a string from a DB it comes as a '...', and putting it inside a "..." doesn't interpolate it's own content
-- 6x9=42

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
