I have two problems.
First, I want to remove $string1 from $string2, and $string1 doesn't change (it's
passed in as a parameter). So my code looks like this:
$string2 =~ s/$string1//o;
Problem is, when $string1 has special characters (like a $), they get interpolated,
too, and mess up the pattern match. I can't use ' delimiters instead of / to stop
interpolation because the pattern is in the variable.
How can I stop interpolation of the contents of $string1?
Second problem. I want to scan a variable containing a file name to see if it matches
a glob-style pattern, like "abc*" or "*.wk?". I haven't been able to find a function
or module that does this. Any ideas?
