Re^2: Command Line Regex

Well, OP has almost what C<URI::Escape::uri_unescape()> does (after including C</e>). Only difference is that C<uri_unescape()> uses C<[0-9A-F]{2}>, which include 128 (UPDATE: 0xff - 0x7f; previously i wrote 72, calcualted very wrongly) extra characters. (For the pedantic, C<uri_unescape()> also differentiates the list context.)

Only talking about a safe and robust way to do it. Using a function from a module (even your own module) is more readable and usually less error prone - like forgetting to put an `e` in the right place. PS: why the POD formatting instead of following Writeup Formatting Tips? Is there some functionality in PM that I missed? Flavio perl -ple'$_=reverse' <<<ti.xittelop@oivalf Don't fool yourself.

`The code in uri_unescape() method is no more robust or safe than what OP would have after fixing some errors. I grant you that if one is going to do the same work many times, one just may as well use the module.` `As to POD formatting, there is no more "functionality in PM" than you see.`	[reply]
