Still not quite right: the pattern \s+?(.+?), in the case where
the match data is something like '/* foo', will match one space,
and the .* will eat the rest of the spaces.
No need to quantify a match as non-greedy if the things it matches
won't be matched by the next token in the regex...
So, I think you really want:
if ( $query =~ m#/\*\+\s+(.+?)\s+\*/# ) {
Hey, as long as we're doing regexes, can someone please post a regex
that validates any email address? (That's a joke, look at the three
pages towards the end of Friedl's book for the punch line...and
please don't respond with your stab at it.)
