Re: regex matching statements

Hi,=20

Yes, they are the same.=20

I like to use $_ only when the data comes in $_ naturally. Like in a for lo=
op:=20
for (qw< abc >)
{
  if ( !/\w+\d+/ )
  {
    print "not matched";
  }
}

Otherwise, I have to write $_, then I prefer to name the variable something=
 descriptive instead.=20
Makes the code more readable and maintainable down the road.=20


-L=20
