in reply to Re^3: search and replace regex return value
in thread search and replace regex return value

OK but

> Workaround is simple  my $target = $CFG{target} ;

Might not be enough in order to loose special flags.

I'd cast explicitly to get a new value

 my $target = "" . $CFG{target} ;

Unfortunately I can't test at the moment.

    Sorry, I should have mentioned that I had tested it, and the AM's workaround does work, my $target = $CFG{target}; copies the value without the magic.
