No, it's not necessary -- I said the qr was unnecessary, not qr//.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $re = qr(/);
$re =~ s!/!\\/!g;
my $code = "if (\$data =~ /$re/) { blah() }";
my $data = '/';
eval $code;
sub blah {
print "hi"
}
I understand that you are auto-generating code; perhaps roboticus's response in Re^3: Putting the stringified Regexp object into code will make my point more clearly. There are times when string evaluated code is appropriate, but this would not be a time I'd select it.
#11929 First ask yourself `How would I do this without a computer?' Then have the computer do it the same way.
