Or you could try Damian's Regexp::Common
use Regexp::Common; use strict; my @examples = ( '${ThisOne}', 'do not match me %{}', '${This${One}}', '${This${One}Too}', '${This${One}and${also}this}', 'me either $}', 'dont match this line noise {} $ }{' ); foreach (@examples){ print "$_\n" if /(\$$RE{balanced}{-parens=>'{}'})/; } my $longstring = join "", @examples; print "\n", join ("\n", $longstring =~ /(\$$RE{balanced}{-parens=>'{}'})/g); __OUTPUT__ ${ThisOne} ${This${One}} ${This${One}Too} ${This${One}and${also}this} ${ThisOne} ${This${One}} ${This${One}Too} ${This${One}and${also}this}
