David, Thank you for your response. Yes... I am worried about performance, so I'm trying to design-in good performance from the get-go.
Thank you for your help!!!

When you run into really sticky problems in this area, remember that if you use a script as your pattern type you can have it set or reference variables, including doing whatever pattern matching on things that you want. perl hashes give you a huge amount of flexibility in this area. It's trivial (and cheap) to check for the existance of a particular hash key with exists, and you can always do keys %hash to get a list of the keys and then search or do regexes against that list.
