Re^3: Passing regex to a subroutine by mbethke (Hermit) on Oct 12, 2012 at 21:26 UTC
Actually your problem was that you passed the regex to a command (`dir`) that didn't understand it. Doing it all in Perl makes much more sense of course, but if the suffix is significant you'll still have to integrate it into the regex.	[reply]
