Re: Help with regex and 'like' in test::more

It seems to be deciding there are special chars in the timestamp. Try this version (\Q\E is really all that changed)–

use Test::More;

my $content = <<"";
<tr>
   <td>dr_test_class</td>
   <td>2014-07-23 18:01:01-04</td>
</tr>

my $args = { class => "dr_test_class",
             timestamp => "2014-07-23 18:01:01-04" };

like $content,
    qr{<td>$args->{class}</td>
       .*
       <td>\Q$args->{timestamp}\E</td>
      }xis,
    '/report/classes dr_test_class';

done_testing();

I can repeat your results. I wonder what the root cause is. Neil Watson watson-wilson.ca	[reply]

I was puzzled too, then considered the `x` modifier. The timestamp has a space in it. :P	[reply] [d/l]
