This may be VERY platform dependent. If it works then your version of perl is as broken as mine.

$SIG{__DIE__} =sub{$_
[0]=~/(.).{14}(.)(.).
{4}(.)/x;die"$1$3$2$4
"};/(?{\/\/})/
[download]

EDIT: Please don't downvote because of the phrase "platform dependent", the purpose of this node was a mildly obfuscated way to see if the broken behaviour of /(?{\/\/})/ was an ActivePerl bug, or internal bug. But you have spoilt it now.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
