hi,

can someone of you guys telling me why e.g. this command:

print ("%%Escalation%%bla.bla@domain.ch" =3D~ /\Q\%\%bla.bla@domain.c=
h\E$/i);

on a system with perl 5.10 does not give me back a matching, as the same ex=
pression gives me back a matching on a perl 5.8.8 system?

thanks.

kind regards,
patrick.

Most probably because it handles the @domain differently. Escape the
@. The \Q\E only affects the characters special to regexps, not the $
and @ that denotes a variable to be interpolated into the string.
