Yes. But remember that $ctl in that snippet is the equivalent of the OPs $pure, not the variable being cleaned. Still, I guess they could legitimately contain meta chars. If the OPs $pure variable(s) are sourced from outside of his program or genuinely might contain meta characters, then a quotemeta would probably be appropriate. Indeed, it might be good if that were mentioned in the eval tr example in perlop. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
