You cannot modify the match variables, anyway. That's not an attempt to modify `$1` at all. It's an attempt to use it as a pattern, which is fine. `$ perl -le '$_="foo"; /(o)/; s/$1/x/; print' fxo` [download] You seem to have confused that with `$1 =~ s/.../.../;` -sauoq "My two cents aren't worth a dime.";	[reply] [d/l]
