It does so work! :) Did you try it? Result:
yep, we ski in dec
A few tips, then:
- If you'll be matching against the same variable
(like $date) multiple times, use the /o operator. That
way Perl will only compile the regex once, not each
time through the loop.
- You could also compile such a regex using
the qr operator. Check that out, as well.
- Of course, in this case, you might want to just
use eq. :)
If I misunderstood what you're asking, let me know.

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).
