Perl equivalent of PHP's preg_callback

Question

Do we have a preg_callback equivalent in Perl ?

Lets say I want to match something and replace it with the return value of the function that is called with the matched thing.

Answer 1

Use s///e - evaluation modifier and you can put arbitrary perl codes in second part.

$x = "this is a test";
$x =~ s/(test)/reverse($1)/eg;
print $x;

//this is a tset
