regexp compilation

hi all - I'm having some troubles, that seem related to regexp
compilation.

Trying to use the WordNet::SenseRelate module, I get a lot of errors
like the following:

Use of uninitialized value in regexp compilation at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/WordNet/SenseRelate.pm line 1109, <SFH>
line 1.
...

the incriminated line is:
sub _loadStoplist
{
    my $self = shift;
    my $file = shift;
    open SFH, '<', $file or die "Cannot open stoplist $file: $!";
    $stoplist{$self} = [];
    while (my $line = <SFH>) {
        chomp $line;
        $line =~ m|/(.*)/|;
        push @{$stoplist{$self}}, qr/$1/; # <<<<< LINE1109
    }
    close SFH;
}

... so $1 comes from a previous pattern match on lines read from a file
at runtime.
I'm not at all an expert in quote-like operators, so I'm not able to
debug this problem - anybody can help ?

thanks1
