Hi everyone

I am trying to learn Perl looking into some scripts.

One of them has a regular expression inside.

First of all, I need to know what two specific lines are doing. The code is
bellow.

$req =~ s/\r//g ;
$req =~ s/([^\n]{72,72})\n([^\n]{1,71})\n([^\n]{1,71})$/$1\n$2$3/

I know they are replacing some things but cannot understand what. Specially
the second one.

I would really appreciate if somebody could explain to me what that regular
expression means. It is kind of an emergency.

And, if someone knows a link where there is more information about regular
expressions, I would be grateful.

Thanks in advance.

Lilian
