here's a suggestion - although I did not try it.
[! $expr="[^-]+"; !]
[- $testdata=~m!$expr!go; -]
if not - probably can work around it by placing this code in
a separate module and calling it with embperl.
looks like we need some kind of embperl escape character.
no matter what you choose for embperl delimiters it can be broken
somewhere.
