Hi All,
I am having a small doubt with the greedy pattern matching of Perl. We all know that
Perl will try to match as many times as it can. But I am not getting the correct
results. Please let me know if I am making a mistake.
<CODE>
my $str = "/var/tmp/test/stuff";
## replace 'test/stuff' to 'test_stuff'
$str =~ s/\//\_/;
print $str,"\n";
</CODE>
But this gives me the result as
"_var/tmp/test/stuff"
Can anybody tell me what is wrong?
Regards,
Parvez
