( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Some of the flags can be moved to a non-capturing group:
#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; my $string = 'abc'; my $pattern = 'B'; my $replacement = 'X'; my $flags = 'i'; $string =~ s/(?$flags:$pattern)/$replacement/; print $string; # aXc

But you can't do that for /gore.

Update: Even string eval doesn't help, as plain interpolation of the $replacement can break if it contains a slash.

eval "s/\$pattern/\$replacement/$flags"
doesn't work either, as you can't put $1 into $replacement unless you always use /ee which makes it unsafe again.

map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
