Hi,

I'm fairly new to perl and having a little problem.

I want to delete a word from a phrase.  My problem is that the word is 
contained in square brackets.  The phrase looks something like this :

    [Deletethis] And some other words


I tried to use something like this to delete the word between (and 
including) the brackets, but it doesn't work :

    my $phrase = "[Deletethis] And some other words";
    my $wordtodelete = "[Deletethis];
    $phrase =~ s/$wordtodelete//;


NOTE THIS ! : $phrase and $wordtodelete actually are defined somewhere else 
in the script.


Who can help ?
