Re^3: Misreading m// documentation (perlop =~ )

[ikegami]

My attention was directed to the post to which this is a reply. I'm not quite sure what the point of that post is, or why it was brought to my attention. All I can say is: Of course '^something' is a single-quoted string literal.

That doesn't mean it the code doesn't result in a regex match. We already know it does.

>perl -MO=Concise,-exec -e"$x =~ '^something'"
1  <0> enter
2  <;> nextstate(main 1 -e:1) v:{
3  <#> gvsv[*x] s
4  </> match(/"^something"/) vKS/RTIME
5  <@> leave[1 ref] vKP/REFC
-e syntax OK

Sorry, I've been away for a while...

I pointed you to the wrong node. I replied to a subthread of the OP, and tried to highlight that to several responders, failing. I should have just left it to everyone's own devices to find the additions.

And it's been so long since I posted last in this thread, I can't remember what I was so excited to tell everyone about. Perhaps just that I initially thought the documentation left something out, but then discovered that it didn't, and could perhaps just be tied together a little tighter.
