in thread regex testing for multiple values

The <c> block looks like an artifact from his HTML, if that's what you mean--it shouldn't show up in your code...

That is, he was saying if you aren't going to use forward slashes to delimit your regex, then you need to prefix it with m:

 if ($blah =~ m#regex here#options here) instead of the usual  $blah =~ /regex here/options here

or what have you. (In your post, the regex doesn't appear to start with a forward slash.)



I'm a peripheral visionary... I can see into the future, but just way off to the side.
