Hi new_monk,

I suggest that you post your code in its entirety, because your second regexp s/\^/:/g certainly works in the snippet that I wrote up to test it. My guess is that something else in your code is causing the problem.

Using perl 5.6.1 unless otherwise noted.
Apache 1.3.27 unless otherwise noted.
Redhat 7.1 unless otherwise noted.
