Can someone please tell me, why
my $pattern = /stuff/; $x =~ $pattern;
or
my $pattern = "/stuff/"; $x =~ $pattern;
don't work the same as
$x =~ /stuff/;
That's best explained in the docs. Start reading:
perldoc perlrequick
perldoc perlop (the m// operator)
After having made a *serious* effort to understand regular expressions and the m// operator, please feel free to ask *specific* questions here.
