what is a correct way to use a variable as an operator ?
i thought the following could work, but i get a syntax error on the matching line. my $regex = 'word'; my $modifier = 'i'; my $string = 'a string that has Words in it'; if($string =~ /$regex/$modifier){ print "match\n"; } Thanks, -- Jeremy Kister http://jeremy.kister.net./ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
