Birgit,
There two options that immediately spring to mind:
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/CPAN/data/Tie-Hash-Regex/Regex.html
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/CPAN/data/Tie-RegexpHash/RegexpHash.html
I don't know much about those modules other than having heard others recommend them.
They both
allow you to use regular expressions as hash keys.
Cheers,
