why not just support the =~ binding operator

Perhaps this is in every Perl programmer's dream. :-) But perhaps
not every language has the luxury/willingness to include regular
expressions in the core language, since they think *that* is
convoluted.

 Subject: [PHP] translating a function from Perl to PHP
 
 
 Hi everyone,
 I'm a good perl programmer, but I'm not able to translate this small
 Perl program to PHP:
 
 $testo = 'Hi %NOME%, how are you? Tomorrow I\'ll go to %DESTINAZIONE%
 with %AMICO%!';
 
 %mioArray=( 'NOME' = 'Pippo',
'AMICO' = 'Pluto',
'DESTINAZIONE' = 'Roma');
 
 print $testo.\n\n;
 
 $testo =~ s/%([a-zA-Z]*)%/$mioArray{$1}/g;# == this is my problem!!!
 
 print $testo.\n;
