Little-known facts about qr// (new with Perl 5.005): it has a magic print value, and it's an object of type Regexp.

% perl -le 'print "My regex: ", qr/^watch/i'
 My regex: (?i-xsm:^watch this)
 
$rob = qr/red/i;
if ($rob->match("Fred Flintstone")) {
 print "Got obj fred!\n";
}
sub Regexp::match {
 my $self = shift;
 my $arg = @_ ? shift : $_;
 return $arg =~ /$arg/;
}

This code converts any GIF to an HTML table--each cell of the table corresponds to a pixel of the image. Use this to make your web advertisements seem like important content and circumvent Lincoln's Apache::AdBlocker. :

use GD;$f='#ffffff';$T=table;sub p{print @_}

Ever wish backquotes didn't interpolate variables? qx() is a synonym for backquotes, but if you use single quotes as a delimiter, it won't interpolate: qx'echo $HOME' works.
