Becoming a Perl bandit , in this question I had to do escape my regex expression \: , to avoid funny syntaxing.

Now on my newest Perl question, I encounter the same issue.

Can this be fixed somehow?

• Should I just escape them all?
• Go to google/code-prettify with the issue. (Doubtfull if they do something about it)
• Any other ideas, maybe I'm missing something obvious?
