You can't (try to) use `/` as the regex delimiter and (an unquoted) `/` within the regular expression. Use a different regex delimiter, for example `!`: `... if (@RECORD = grep (m!^\spassword\s+requisite\s+(/lib/security/$ISA/) +?pam_cracklib.lcredit=([0123456789-]+!, @fRecords )) { ...` [download] Also see perlop on `m//`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

One thing that might help, depending on which version of perl you are using, is the 'qr' operator. It works similar to qq or qw, except it works on regular expressions, which is very handy for using RegExs as variables passed in from a function or main arg. Hope that helps.	[reply]
