You can pass strings without a problem. For effeciency, you can use the qr// operator. See "perldoc perlop": http://perldoc.perl.org/perlop.html#qr%2fSTRING%2fimosx Please note however that the second part in the s/// operator is *not* treated as an RE, only the first part: s/PATTERN/REPLACEMENT/ PATTERN is a regexp. REPLACEMENT is treated as double-quoted text (delimiter dependent) unless you use the "e" modifier, in which case REPLACEMENT will be eval'ed as a Perl expression.
