Hrm. The regex is comparing a variable called $test (in this example $test
does not exist) to the word "daniel *" as long as "daniel" is the beginning
of the string. Therefore, it will match only "daniel" and anything else in
the string as long as daniel is the first word with no whitespace or
anything else before it. Once that is done it will print "Hello world\n".
