    Same here, it worked on both of: 5.12.2 on fedora 14 and 5.10.1 on another linux 

    use strict;
use warnings;

use 5.010;

my $string = q(quux);

my @patterns = map { qr/$_/i } qw( foo ba(r|z) quux );

say @patterns;

if( $string ~~ @patterns ) {
 #say q(matched);
 say qq(This matched: $&);
}

    I'm using 5.10.0

    I didn't get around to testing it against something a bit more current but this is a work machine.

    Running on my machine at home (5.10.1) it matched.

    We do have 5.12.1 installed on a test machine and it worked as expected. I guess I need to pass along the request to put 5.12.1 into production.

    Thanks for the help everyone.
