in thread /x modifier with \Q and \E

I suppose you are aware of quotemeta function, which you could use for the same effect of \Qpattern\E something like (one of many variations) ... 

my @patterns = map { quotemeta $_ } @string

In any case, as the Gory details says, be aware of what happens with [$@] in \Q (or quotemeta) including other meta characters.

    Brilliant. I was aware of quotemeta but I had totally forgotten. I was even considering writing my own version :-(

    Thanks for the help - that's what I'll use.
