DOH, just realized that you had "/ee" ... tried that and it did indeed work :) But this is still basically an eval(), right?

Yup. `s/.../.../ee` is the same as `s/.../eval .../e`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Ok, thanks... but really I'm trying to avoid using eval() (or /e) in the first place. <RANT> Seeing as Perl lets you specify regex patterns in variables used for search text (s/$pattern/), it really seems like there ought to be a non-kludgy way to interpret backreferences from a variable in the replacement text (s/$pattern/$replacecontainsbackrefs/) ... </RANT>	[reply]
