Opposite of regex match?

[Marv]

Hello,

How would you write 'does not match' in a regex match?

Below is what I was assuming would work, but it doesn't. I guess you
cannot use "!=~" for does not match. What can you use here?

#!/usr/bin/perl


$var1="test";

$var2 = "testing";

if ($var2 !=~ m/$var1/){

printf "Doesn't match\n";

} else {

printf "Does match\n";

}

Thanks,
Max

Thanks! That did it.

I was pulling my hair out on that one. Couldn't find the answer
anywhere.
