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