Problem with perl regex that looks like a "C" close comment

[Ted Nolan]

(Sorry if this arrives multiple times..)

Hello,

My program is doing a regsub to change multiple blanks in a string to
just one blank:

    $addr_part =~ s/  */ /g;

This triggers a warning:

do_filter.pl:247: warning: found / without matching / while
inside a \code block! Perhaps a missing \endcode?

I think it also messes up doxygen commands following that function..

Version 1.50..

Any suggestions?

It looks to me like PerlDoxygen might need to escape something that it's not. In the meantime, can you do something like this:

my $foo = "  */ ";
$addr_part =~ s/$foo/g;

Interesting. I will have to try and look for that, unless you can find it and want to submit a patch.
