I'm making a text replace and my text to search includes a metacharacter (.
The text to be searched has been stored in a scalar for example $search. The text where the search will be made has been stored for example in a scalar $text. Here is what I'm doing:
$search = "for example (this)"; $text = "looking for example (this)"; $toBeReplaced = "that";
$text =~ s|$search|$toBeReplaced|;
$text =~ s|\Q$search\E|$toBeReplaced|;
