Sorry, I really don't do the concept justice - a more comprehensive answer
is to say - if you want help w/ REs, get "Mastering Regular Expressions"
by J. Friedl
http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596528126/
It's it a great, great book, up there w/ the Camel and "Perl Best
Practices". It covers more than just Perl REs too. Even if you just go to
the book store and read the appropriate parts. But buy it and read it -
you'll solve lots of your RE problems.
Wait until Perl6 RE/regexs get here ;->

I know there are better links, but I don't have them at the moment.

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think
"I know, I'll use regular expressions."
Now they have two problems
