Re^4: Formatting with sprintf

5.8.8 is waaaaay old.

That's why

my $CCformatted = $card =~ s/....\K\B/-/gr;
[download]

doesn't work, the /r came along in 5.14.

my $CCformatted = join '-', $card =~ /..../g;
[download]

should still work.

$CCformatted = join '-', $cardNum =~ /..../g; still does not work. I have asked host to update Perl to 5.22.0.	[reply]
