Perhaps you should use non-capturing parentheses instead. Or maybe this would work better: $ENV{ QUERY_STRING } =~ /\.type=([^&]+)/; > i rewrite as > > $ENV{"QUERY_STRING"} =~ /\.type=(.+?)[$&]/; # seem better, but not > working [$&] is a character class that matches either the '$' character or the '&' character. In the previous example '$' in a pattern but not in a character class is a meta-character that matches at end-of-line, not the literal '$' character.
