Don't forget to use a \ to escape out special characters when using regex.
#!/pw/prod/svr4/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Data::Dumper;
my $ipn= qr/\( going \) there/;
my $jpn="( going ) there";
if($jpn =~ m/$ipn/) {
print "yes";
}
else
{print "nomatch";}
Lots of good regex info if you search around Perl Monks try Perlmonks Tutorial: Regular Expressions Tutorial, the Basics (for BEGINNERS)I have also found http://www.regular-expressions.info/quickstart.html very helpful working with regex's. Lots of good examples.I found tools like http://www.txt2re.com/ or Eclipses regex tool to be helpful in debugging my regex commands.Good Luck.

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).
