Subject: Using regular expressions with delimitaters

Hello,

I need to use the delimiter " " , (one blank space).
I read perdoc, i try to use this : 

if ( "8.1.8" =~ /[\d $versao \s]/)

But the expression is always true.
Where is the error ?

my code :

#!/usr/bin/perl
$version=`/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl --version`;
print $version;

if ( "8.1.8" =~ /$version/)
 {
  print "$version\n";
 }
else
 {
  print "Wrong version !\n";
 }

Output, about program:

pg_ctl (PostgreSQL) 8.1.8
Wrong version

Best regards,

Rodrigo Faria

Maybe you are making this too hard...
perl -e '$date=`date`; print "Is Apr\n" if $date =~ /Apr/;'
As an example... 

Hope this helps...
