sub qre(&;@) { my $block = shift; my $str = $block->(@_); return qr/$str/; }

Thanks, that's an excellent piece of inspiration! Just to take that idea a little further and add support for /i and the like:

sub qre (&;$) {
    my $re = shift->();
    eval 'qr/$re/'.(shift//'') || die $@
}

my $regex = qre{ join '|', qw/foo bar/ }'i';
print "$regex\n";

__END__

(?^i:foo|bar)

Not that I'm going to start using this right away, for now this is just to satisfy my curiosity ;-)

Thanks,
