Ain't that what \Q and \E are for:)... I know, I know... you'd have to monkey with the regex as well. Silly me.

On a related note, it good to know I'm not the only one who uses control chars as temporary placeholders in strings.

I agree that 0x7f was a bad choice in a utf-8/unicode world. Using a BOM like "\xEF\xBB\xBF" might make some sense though.


Examine what is said, not who speaks.

The 7th Rule of perl club is -- pearl clubs are easily damaged. Use a diamond club instead.
