That's identical to `if ($input =~ /$NAME/) {...}` [download] which is what I used, so I don't get your point.	[reply] [d/l]

You have copied the NAME value to a variable and used as $NAME. i have specified a method, which will use the constant NAME itself in the regular expression `use strict; use constant NAME => 'abc'; if ($ARGV[0] =~ /${\NAME}/) { print "match"; };` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

You're sure you didn't update your post? I know about the difference between ${NAME} and ${\NAME}, and when replying, I checked to make sure there wasn't a \ there.	[reply]

You're thinking of `${NAME}`. `${\NAME}` is the scalar version of `@{[ NAME ]}`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
