Hi
Check the input itself is not containing the '\', because it is interpolated in double quotes.
use strict;
my $string = "this is my sting with \ and /slashes. put substing in qu
+otes";
my $substring = "with \ and /slashes";
print $string;
$string =~ s/\Q$substring\E/\"$substring\"/gi;
OUTPUT:
this is my sting with and /slashes. put substing in quotes
Instead use single quote in the input like,
use strict;
my $string = 'this is my sting with \ and /slashes. put substing in qu
+otes';
my $substring = 'with \ and /slashes';
print $string;
$string =~ s/\Q$substring\E/\"$substring\"/gi;
OUTPUT:
this is my sting with \ and /slashes. put substing in quotes
This will give the correct output

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.
