in reply to Regular Expressions and Variables

I believe you would be interested in either quotemeta or the regex /Q/E flags. In more general terms, why are reinventing this particular wheel? Text::Template or HTML::Template (? not sure I got that one correct ) already do most of this and do it quite well.

You get the bonus that they have already solved this problem as well as another 100 or so you haven't even thought of yet. And, because if you order before midnight tonight, you get portability for free! Anywhere there is perl and access to CPAN, your system will work.

    I've researched most of the template modules in CPAN, I'm working on a project where I don't know exactly what the tags are going to look like, since the system allows you to create your own, and use them any way you want. its a big level of abstraction for me :) Its almost like a templating system that makes the template system. oi.

    You'd be surprised the conditions I may have to face, Some accounts I work don't have shell access - hell I don't even have a test box of mi own.
