Yes...I actually just used grep, like his first suggestion, but see the 
 benefits of the second one as well.

Yes...I aggree -- in this case the simple solution was the obvious one. 
My original question was not motivated as much to solve the problem at 
hand, but more out of a suspicion that there might be something 
lower-level -- like B::Deparse -- that would solve the problem in a 
more, I don't know, interesting way? Just trying to expand my 
Perl-knowledge on a Friday afternoon.
