| sQuEE | :$ |
| fizztpok_ | Man, I always feel like I'm getting the hang of Perl until I see nonsense like that. |
| mauke | what are you trying to do? |
| sQuEE | im trying to eval qr/$regex/ which contains ^(\d)(??{ "x{$1}" })$ , but $@ returns null |
| mauke | no, what are you actually trying to do? |
| ik | sQuEE: what is the point of doing the thing that you are doing? |
| sQuEE | no, that’s just a testing example |
| sQuEE | im trying to assign $regex what i captured from a previous match using qr// , eval { $regex = qr/$2/ }; |
| sQuEE | im not sure what im doing wrong |
| mauke | I'm not interested in what you're doing; what are you trying to achieve? |
| ik | You're capturing a regex with a regex and attempting to use said regex? |
| ik | I hope the data you're matching isn't input :( |
| PerlJam | mauke: I'm trying to achieve world peace and this regex is the last thing standing in my way! ;) |
| Khisanth | there will be no world peace! |

| DrForr | Can I at least have whirled peas? |
| * PerlJam | fires up the whirly gig for DrForr and inserts some peas |
| * Khisanth | dumps a bowl of whirled peas on DrForr's head |
| DrForr | Mmm, whirled peas. |
