Hi all,

As it is possible to use variables in a regex like ~m/$myvar/;. Then why it is not possible to do something like that:
    my $state_smybol = {
        1 => 'Image component sizes',
        2 => '      Code \(inc\. data\)   RO Data    RW Data    ZI Dat
+a      Debug   Object Name',
    };
...
if( $MapFile->[$iterator] =~m/$state_symbol->{1}/){..

[download]
The regex has uninitialized values then.. ?
Why?
Actually i do not want to create an additional temporary variable for storing the value from the hash and then doing the regex..

Any help is highly welcome!

Best regards!
Tobias
