I am looking for an way to interpolate backslash-sequences
within a string with the usual perl semantics, e.g.
$s='1\t\2\t3\na\ b c' should become:
'1<tab>2<tab>3
a b c'
Things I tried were for example
$s= eval('' . "$val"); # (hoping to trigger the normal interpolation) or
$s=~ s/\\(.)/"\\$1"/eg;
but somehow i couldn't get it right ...
Can anybody think of an elegant solution?
Regards,
Peter Daum
