As a follow up to my talk... Mark provided me with this example: # use re 'eval'; my $userinput = '(?{system "echo This is interpolated from user input"})'; $q =~ /(?{system "echo This is statically compiled."})/; $q =~ /$userinput/; it will output: This is statically compiled. /(?{system "echo This is interpolated from user input"})/: Eval-group not allowed at runtime, use re 'eval' at - line 5. Which basically means I didn't do my homework as well as I should have before my talk. I made an assumption, and we all know what that means :) The second part of my talk, about RE's that take forever to terminate still holds, and could still be a problem on some systems. -R **Majordomo list services provided by PANIX <URL:http://www.panix.com>** **To Unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe phl" to majordomo@lists.pm.org**
