Hopefully a simple question. Not sure if the subject line gets across
what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to match one string with another,
using a regex, like so:
my $string = "abc";
my $match = "ab(c";
if($string =~ m/$match/){ print "MATCH!\n"; }
This gives me an error because it's treating the paren as a regex
grouping character, which (in this case) is not what I want. I want
it to match paren.
This leads me to consider the many other characters that would need
escaping. What's the right way to do this without escaping every
non-alpha character?
