in reply to Re^3: using just variables in a regular exression
in thread using just variables in a regular exression

Ok, you've convinced me.
if the expression starts with s or m then parse on the /
otherwise its a parser.
if s or m, handle as u suggest.. not a lot of code add.

thanks Sam

    Good call, and it sounds quite reasonable. Maybe look for expressions that would match m{^([sm])/} and assume those are ones that need to be evaluated either as m/ or s/. All the rest, treat like m/.
