Re: Why does NOT operator on match operator on string concatenation require two pairs of parens?

Not an answer to the immediate question, but I would usually write such a test as:

if ($inst !~ /lea/i) {
  # do things
}

and I would always default to interpolation rather than concatenation so my test would look more like:

if ("$label$inst" !~ /\blea\b/i) {
  # do things
}
