My equivalent that works is: perl -wE "use utf8;my \$_='123456789';s§3(456)7§§\$1§;say;" 1245689 If I stop treating this section-sign delimiter as a bracketing delimiter, it fails: perl -wE "use utf8;my \$_='123456789';s§3(456)7§\$1§;say;" Substitution replacement not terminated at -e line 1. ˉ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
