modperl and qr

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/01/27]

Hello list,

The qr example in the guide does not work as expected. Using the /o in 
the foreach loop matches based on the first value of $re and never 
changes even when $re is recompiled.
The /o modifier should be removed since that's exactly what we are 
trying to avoid.

my $pat = '^foo$';
my $re  = qr($pat);
foreach( @list ) {
    print if /$re/o;
}
