I don't know what you are trying to achieve, and am doubtful that the above
code achieves anything, but here's at least the source of the error: search
strings are delimited by FORWARD slashes /, and not by backward ones \. So,
for instance, to find out whether
a variable contains "gobbledy", you'd write:
if ($variable =~ /gobbledy/) ...
Do "perldoc perlequick" to get the "Perl regular expressions quick start"
manpage, and "perldoc perlretut" for a regular expressions tutorial. All
part of the standard perl documentation.
