in thread Strange regex behavior - beware chunk boundaries!

Remember, ID= is part of the actual text I am searching for. Perhaps you were thinking along the lines of $var =~ /some-text/, right?

Anyhow, without specifying what var to work on, that "if" works on $_.
So it's really if $_ =~ /ID=([0-9]+)/
