Re^3: How to grep exact string

My suggested grep has been correct Perl syntax since Perl 5.0. (Perhaps before?)

Note there are no parentheses after the grep... not this:

grep({ ... } @list)
[download]

And note that there's no comma after the block... not this:

grep { ... }, @list
[download]

It just needs to be like this:

grep { ... } @list
[download]

If you really want parentheses, they can go on the outside:

(grep { ... } @list)
[download]

perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'

I think what is breaking it for me is the `$_ eq $unique`. When I include that, real matches don't register as matches. EDIT: nevermind... typo.	[reply] [d/l]
