Re: Using sub-matches to interpolate hash keys (array indices)?

I realize this doesn't answer the question directly, but would building the regex dynamically be an option?

my @a = qw/a d/;
my $re = join '|',
    map { $_.quotemeta($a[$_]) } 0..$#a;
print $re, "\n";
$_ = '0a1d1y0z';
print s/($re)/xx/g, "\n";
print $_, "\n";
__END__
0a|1d
2
xxxx1y0z

Thanks a lot, I wouldn't have thought myself to check the variant that you suggested. There are about 30 (plus or minus) key-value pairs in my HoA, and, 'external conditions' being constant during a single replacement, it can be 'flattened' to a hash -- it means your pattern will have 30 alterations. Will it be more efficient than my regexp i.e. with code injection? Here's the test: `use strict; use warnings; use 5.020; use String::Random 'random_string'; use Benchmark 'cmpthese'; my $s = random_string( 'b' x 10000 ); my %h = map { chr, chr( $_ + 30 + rand 10) } 0 .. 29; my $re = join '\|', map { quotemeta( $_.$h{$_} ) } keys %h; my ( $s1, $s2 ); cmpthese( -5, { 1 => sub { $_ = $s; s/([\x00-\x1D])(.)(?(?{ $2 ne $h{$1} })(*FAIL) +)/xx/sg; $s1 = $_ }, 2 => sub { $_ = $s; s/$re/xx/sg; $s2 = $_ }, } ); say 'OK' if $s1 eq $s2; __END__ Rate 1 2 1 1028/s -- -91% 2 11069/s 977% -- OK` [download] It's absolutely wonderful there are sites like this one.

my $s = random_string( 'b' x 10000 );

my %h = map { chr, chr( $_ + 30 + rand 10) } 0 .. 29;
my $re = join '|', 
    map { quotemeta( $_.$h{$_} ) } keys %h;
    
my ( $s1, $s2 );

cmpthese( -5, {
    1 => sub { $_ = $s; s/([\x00-\x1D])(.)(?(?{ $2 ne $h{$1} })(*FAIL)
+)/xx/sg; $s1 = $_ },
    2 => sub { $_ = $s; s/$re/xx/sg; $s2 = $_ },
} );

say 'OK' if $s1 eq $s2;
