quotemeta - quote regular expression magic characters
quotemeta EXPR
quotemeta
Returns the value of
EXPR with all non-alphanumeric characters backslashed.
(That is, all characters not matching
/[A-Za-z_0-9]/
will be preceded by a backslash in the returned string, regardless of any
locale settings.) This is the internal function implementing the \Q
escape in double-quoted strings.
If
EXPR is omitted, uses $_
.
