in reply to Troubles with m!(??{substr(...)})!

#$url = substr($test, 0, $_); #if ($test =~ /$url/ {
We can easily simplify that to: if(1){ You're welcome.


(Note: of course now the original poster will post some wacky and zany update involving metachars, and i shall look extremely silly and lose much XP. Damn.)
