Regular Expression Problem

[Lee Cullip]

Can anybody tell me what is wrong with the following line ?     $prmpt = /(^.*[:]\/home\/oracle[:=>]{1,2})/;   I'm trying to use the value of $prmpt in a call to Net::Telnet but before I can use the variable $prmpt, perl is complaining about the format of the pattern. Any help would be appreciated.   Regards Lee
