How to include a string variable in a regex (Perl)
 

I am wondering how do you include a string variable as part of a regex in Perl?

You just include the sigil + name in the regex, e.g. $f =~ m/blah$var/

Is the 'm' before the regex important?

What if you meant $var literally?

nope I just used the m out of habit. If you want a literal var, just escape the $.

So /$var/ for $var's value, and /\$var/ for the literal string '$var', right?

righty-o
