Hey all... I want to use groupings, (TEST), and replacement variables, $1, $2, etc, in a replacement regex, but the replacement is built into a variable. Like so:
#!/usr/bin/perl my $replace = "urgent \$1"; my $string = "This is a TEST"; $string = s/(TEST)/$replace/gi; print $string; It outputs This is a urgent $1 Instead of This is a urgent TEST Any ideas?
