Oops, forgot to mention...

This is a quick reference to regular expressions in Perl, but it'll be 
incomprehensible unless you already know a fair amount about regular 
expressions:
	http://perldoc.perl.org/perlre.html

This is an even quicker reference, which is incomprehensible unless you 
already know a LOT about Perl and regexps:
	http://perldoc.perl.org/perlreref.html

Both of those are for Perl 5.10, which you probably aren't using yet 
unless you are on a pretty new system (Jaunty has 5.10.0).  There's a 
pull-down box in the upper right that lets you pick Perl 5.8, which is 
probably what you have on a non-bleeding-edge server OS/distro.  See 
'perl -v'.

Later,

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
