Regex from variable 1

[isodbaar]

Hi guys,
Im a Perl beginner..

There is a way to use a scalar as a pattern in a Regex expression?

This is what I am trying to do..

$test = "m/Test/";
if ("Test" =~ $test ) {
print "yep";
}

Does not work!!..

Thank you in advance...

use the 'qr' (quote regexp) operator to compile and save a regexp to a variable:

$test = qr/Test/;
if ("Test" =~ $test ) {
   print "yep";
}
