Nov 2, 2024 at 8:04 comment added Stéphane Chazelas I personally like using s{...}{...} when nesting them, I find it more legible but that may be just me: perl -pe 's{\[.*?\]}{$& =~ s{\b(BAR|WIBBLE|ME)\b}{FOO}gr}ge'. The x flag and breaking it down on several lines may also help for legibility.

Oct 24, 2012 at 16:30 comment added Chris Thanks! That did it. @choroba and @Guru word boundary would have been great too, but I want to be robust in what text the SOMETHING should be. I'll update the question to make that clearer.
