Re^2: Match operator fails for elements 100 and higher

I found a work-around, just use a different array to index the string array instead of using numbers:

my @mystrings = ("string") x 200;
my @i = 0..$#mystrings;

m/$mystrings[$i[100]]/;

Thanks for your help. Should I report this issue?

Simpler workaround (or maybe it's the right thing to do in the first place) is this: `m/${mystrings[100]}/;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Yup, there is ambiguity as to whether the `[999]` is a character class or array index. Odd that the contents should determine how it's parsed though. `print "Good ",qw(night morning afternoon evening)[(localtime)[2]/6]," fellow monks."`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
