No, it's not necessary -- I said the qr was unnecessary, not qr//.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $re = qr(/);
$re =~ s!/!\\/!g;
my $code = "if (\$data =~ /$re/) { blah() }";
my $data = '/';
eval $code;
sub blah {
print "hi"
}
I understand that you are auto-generating code; perhaps roboticus's response in Re^3: Putting the stringified Regexp object into code will make my point more clearly. There are times when string evaluated code is appropriate, but this would not be a time I'd select it.
#11929 First ask yourself `How would I do this without a computer?' Then have the computer do it the same way.

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).
