Does the built-in 'quotemeta()' do enough for you? quotemeta EXPR
This function returns the value of EXPR (or $_ if not specified) with all non-alphanumeric characters backslashed. This is the internal function implementing the \Q escape in interpolative contexts (including double-quoted strings, backticks, and patterns). _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
