The solution I provided solves the problem you describe here. It matches on word boundaries, it does not require the entire string to match. My solution did not include strict, warnings, or Carp, but strict and warnings are pragmas, and do not require external modules. Warnings is not supported in some versions of Perl, so you should rely on the -w option, in that case. Caution: Contents may have been coded under pressure.	[reply]

Could you put the lines you provided inside my code? I got '500 Internal Server Error'. I suspect, that probably I have incorrectly closed braces or not in the right place. Thanks tenerif	[reply]

You can just use your original code, and where you did have the pattern `/\Q$key/` [download] replace it with `/\b\Q$key\E\b/` [download] Caution: Contents may have been coded under pressure.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I have no access to Perl modules, i use shared hosting. I have used various web hosting providers, but I've always had the CGI module. I'm pretty sure it comes as standard with all Perl distributions, so it would be very unlikely that you don't already have it. If you genuinely don't have it, you should give your hosting provider a good kicking. By the way - the monk who advised using CGI::Carp made a small typo, which would give you an error. The line should be: `use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);` and this (along with `use strict`) should go straight after the `#!` line at the start of your file: `#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use CGI; use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);` [download] Hope this helps. s^^unp(;75N=&9I<V@`ack(u,^;s\|$.+\`\|"$`$'\"$&\"$"\|ee;/m.+h/&&print$&	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I done this, but now the script refuses to work at all. It just shows vaste q-ty of various instructions. That is, this even has worsened script work.

That's right, just adding `use strict` to the start of your program won't magically make it work. That wasn't what I (or the person who originally mentioned strict) was suggesting. It is a debugging aid, not a magic bullet. In your case it is telling you that certain variables have not been declared properly. s^^unp(;75N=&9I<V@`ack(u,^;s\|$.+\`\|"$`$'\"$&\"$"\|ee;/m.+h/&&print$&	[reply] [d/l] [select]
