Re: Re: Re: use of constants in regex substitutions?

You're right; I should've tested first. How come &sub is interpolated when using arrow operator?

&sub => "xyz";

AFAIK, this is equivalent to

"&sub", "xyz";

Well, I believe the `=>` operator forces a bareword to its left to be interpreted as a string. But `&sub` isn't a bareword it's a subroutine call, so it works like you want it to. At least, this is my understanding. Hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong. -- 3dan	[reply]
