Hi Monks,

I have a question concerning Regex with HTML::Entities. I try to replace patterns with a keyword with some HTML-Code: The keword is encapsulated between ✶ (a little star). The keyword itself is of the form: Adjektive (Nominalflexion~84. The whole pattern looks like: {✶Adjektive (Nominalflexion)~87✶} 

use HTML::Entities;

# $text is some Text from a mysql database

my $sep = decode_entities('✶');
my @v = ($text =~ /\{$sep(.*?)$sep\}/sg); # alle Verweise
# @v contains all patterns (which means that they match)

The matched elements in @v have the form: {✶Adjektive (Nominalflexion)~87✶} Going through all elements in @v, I try to replace the matched elements in the following way: 

$b = "Adjektive (Nominalflexion)~87";
$c = "\{$sep$b$sep\}";
$r = "<div>some Text $b some other text</div>";
$text =~ s/$c/$r/s;

I tried a lot of variants including quotes (?:...), and what not. Nothing worked! Is there anyone, who can stop my wasting of time with these questions? Thanks in advance! Best regards, Horst
