.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This is a quick reference to Perl's regular expressions.
For full information see perlre and perlop, as well
as the "SEE ALSO" section in this document.
.SS OPERATORS
.IX Subsection "OPERATORS"
\&\f(CW\*(C`=~\*(C'\fR determines to which variable the regex is applied.
In its absence, \f(CW$_\fR is used.
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    $var =~ /foo/;
.Ve
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`!~\*(C'\fR determines to which variable the regex is applied,
and negates the result of the match; it returns
false if the match succeeds, and true if it fails.
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    $var !~ /foo/;
.Ve
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`m/pattern/msixpogcdualn\*(C'\fR searches a string for a pattern match,
applying the given options.
.PP
.Vb 10
\&    m  Multiline mode \- ^ and $ match internal lines
\&    s  match as a Single line \- . matches \en
\&    i  case\-Insensitive
\&    x  eXtended legibility \- free whitespace and comments
\&    p  Preserve a copy of the matched string \-
\&       ${^PREMATCH}, ${^MATCH}, ${^POSTMATCH} will be defined.
\&    o  compile pattern Once
\&    g  Global \- all occurrences
\&    c  don\*(Aqt reset pos on failed matches when using /g
\&    a  restrict \ed, \es, \ew and [:posix:] to match ASCII only
\&    aa (two a\*(Aqs) also /i matches exclude ASCII/non\-ASCII
\&    l  match according to current locale
\&    u  match according to Unicode rules
\&    d  match according to native rules unless something indicates
\&       Unicode
\&    n  Non\-capture mode. Don\*(Aqt let () fill in $1, $2, etc...
.Ve
.PP
If 'pattern' is an empty string, the last \fIsuccessfully\fR matched
regex is used. Delimiters other than '/' may be used for both this
operator and the following ones. The leading \f(CW\*(C`m\*(C'\fR can be omitted
if the delimiter is '/'.
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`qr/pattern/msixpodualn\*(C'\fR lets you store a regex in a variable,
or pass one around. Modifiers as for \f(CW\*(C`m//\*(C'\fR, and are stored
within the regex.
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`s/pattern/replacement/msixpogcedual\*(C'\fR substitutes matches of
\&'pattern' with 'replacement'. Modifiers as for \f(CW\*(C`m//\*(C'\fR,
with two additions:
.PP
.Vb 2
\&    e  Evaluate \*(Aqreplacement\*(Aq as an expression
\&    r  Return substitution and leave the original string untouched.
.Ve
.PP
\&'e' may be specified multiple times. 'replacement' is interpreted
as a double quoted string unless a single-quote (\f(CW\*(C`\*(Aq\*(C'\fR) is the delimiter.
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`m?pattern?\*(C'\fR is like \f(CW\*(C`m/pattern/\*(C'\fR but matches only once. No alternate
delimiters can be used.  Must be reset with \fBreset()\fR.
.SS SYNTAX
.IX Subsection "SYNTAX"
.Vb 10

\&           used)

Note to those still using Perl 5.18 or earlier:
The use of \f(CW\*(C`$\`\*(C'\fR, \f(CW$&\fR or \f(CW\*(C`$\*(Aq\*(C'\fR will slow down \fBall\fR regex use
within your program. Consult perlvar for \f(CW\*(C`@\-\*(C'\fR
to see equivalent expressions that won't cause slow down.
See also Devel::SawAmpersand. Starting with Perl 5.10, you
can also use the equivalent variables \f(CW\*(C`${^PREMATCH}\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`${^MATCH}\*(C'\fR
and \f(CW\*(C`${^POSTMATCH}\*(C'\fR, but for them to be defined, you have to
specify the \f(CW\*(C`/p\*(C'\fR (preserve) modifier on your regular expression.
In Perl 5.20, the use of \f(CW\*(C`$\`\*(C'\fR, \f(CW$&\fR and \f(CW\*(C`$\*(Aq\*(C'\fR makes no speed difference.
