Re^2: Substitution with regexes in variables

It is probably better to use Text::Balanced's extract_quotelike function rather than hand-rolling a substitution parser. (At least, the documentation suggests that it will handle s///'s correctly; and your code makes no effort to handle differently delimited patterns, among the (I assume) many other possible perversions.)

That would allow other delimiters, but that would make it more complicated from a security standpoint. I didn't want to spend time thinking of the implications.	[reply]
