Re: How do you get s/// to look inside variables in the replacement string?

in reply to How do you get s/// to look inside variables in the replacement string?

One way would be to use double eval:

#!/usr/bin/perl

my $str   = 'abc';
my $match = '(a)(.)';
my $repl  = '$2$1';
    
$str =~ s/$match/"\"$repl\""/ee;

print "$str\n";  # bac
