Re: Use global flag when declaring regular expressions with qr?

Hello and welcome to the monastery unmatched,

as I told you in the cb, better the question better answers.. and it happened :)

as was not mentioned you can also do:

# $opts = 'g'; DONT WORK
# $rex = eval qq(qr/here/$opts);

UPDATED because it doesnt work with g ..sorry for the noise

There are no rules, there are no thumbs..

Gives: `Unknown regexp modifier "/g" at (eval 1) line 1, at end of line` [download] As mentioned elsewhere, g is one of the flags that is a property of the match/substitution operator, not of the regex, and can't be used with qr. -- A math joke: r = \| \|csc(θ)\|+\|sec(θ)\| \|-\| \|csc(θ)\|-\|sec(θ)\| \|	[reply] [d/l]

If you're building a match or substitute operator, generally better to use String::Substitution than `eval`.	[reply] [d/l]

Thank you, Discipulus! You were absolutely right, I tried to make a best question as I could to not be too lengthy but also avoid the back and forth of asking for more details, etc. And I have to say that I'm very grateful for the many replies and useful tips!	[reply]
