How to select substring:

from: "abcde *:; fghijkl mno pqrstuwxyz"

I want: everything between and icluding "cde" and "stu".
That is: "cde *:; fghijkl mno pqrstu"

Thanks!

Easiest way would be (untested):

my $substring;
my $string = 'abcde *:; fghijkl mno pqrstuwxyz';
if( $string =~ /(cde.*stu)/ ) {
$substring = $1;
}

print 'Bug !' if 'bug' == 0;

No, it's not a bug, it's just the consequence of using a numeric
comparison on a string that doesn't begin with a digit.

I'm not sure where it is in the docs, but the camel has this:
""Improper conversions of a nonnumeric string like foo to a
number count as numeric 0; these trigger warnings if you have
them enabled, but are silent otherwise."

Essentially, it's just a result of the way converting a string to a
number is defined.
