in reply to making regex case insensitive

Both preceding answers are excellent; one tells you how to find the answer, the other shows it to you.

I would add that if you are manually processing each element of the array, you may be doing it the hard way:

#!/usr/bin/perl # testgreparray.pl - Check behavior of grep on arrays use strict; my @cmdrsp = ( 'This is a test.', 'A booger a day keeps the doctor at bay.', 'Blimey, laddy, it\'s a booger!' ); if (grep(/booger/, @cmdrsp)) { print "Found it the easy way\n"; } my @searsp = grep(/booger/, @cmdrsp); my $seacnt = @searsp; if ($seacnt) { print "Found it the hard way\n"; }
