Re: Strange grep and matching behaviour...

[Ovid]

my @slurp = grep { ! /fubar/ } <FILE>;

And here's what I used to test it:

my @slurp = grep { ! /fubar/ } <DATA>;

use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper \@slurp;

__DATA__
asdffubarasdf 1
as;ldja;slk;alskj 2
as;dlkfjfubarasdf 3
as;ldfkj;laksf;lkasj 4
asfd;aslfk 5
fubar 6

Cheers,
Ovid
