I got a warning message from my perl script,it's this: Quantifier follows nothing in regex;
Have you seen what the perldiag manpage says about that message?
return ($ok =1) if $arg1=~/$_/;
Unless $_ contains a valid regular expression when that line is evaluated, your program will crash. Perhaps you want string equality testing? Or to see whether one string contains another as a substring?
