does anyone know how to pass a regular expression into a script (in my
case, from an HTML form) and then evaluate the expression?
I am passing in a reg exp (like "/^hello/ ")as a string and grabbing it
(my $regexp = /^hello/ ), and then trying to interpolate:
push @results, $k if do{ $k =~ @{[ $regexp ]};
Doesn't seem to be working. Any tricks for doing this?
