Re: Regexp::Common not so common?

I don't believe you can join two regex's together using string concatenation. If you spell it out, it works:

$teststring =~ s/hello\s*$RE{balanced}{-parens=>'{ }'}\s*$RE{balanced}
+{-parens=>'{ }'}/hi/;
#teststring: start hi end

(Except you didn't have any capture parentheses in your original s///.)

Unless I state otherwise, all my code runs with strict and warnings

Yes, you can join two regexes together using "`.`". What you have to do is obey the error message and add `use re 'eval';` [download] to your script. See re. []s, HTH, Massa (κς,πμ,πλ)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
