Re: Printing regular expression variable

This "wrapper" has a meaning. Moreover, the "wrapper" may be different in a different version of Perl. Try wrapping regular expressions with flags:

my $regex = qr/^.*$/m;
print "$regex\n";       # (?^um:^.*$) in 5.16.0

I've not been able to find any details about the regexp output format in those perl docs. Is this documented anywhere. And is there an alternative method to get the original regexp out of a variable? MattLG	[reply]
