here's a perl question for the list.
how does one resolve the ambiguity between octal references and
backreferences followed by numbers?
example:
to replace foobar with fubar, I could use the following:
s/foo(bar)/fu\1/
but let's say I wanted to replace it with fubar01:
s/foo(bar)/fu\101/
unfortunately, \101 is interpreted as octal 101 instead of backreference
1 followed by 01.
any ideas?
