isync has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi Perlmonks!
I know of the handy regex /([^:]+)/ which tells perl to eat everything until it reaches the ":".
Now, is there a way to do the same with a phrase, like /([^stop]+)/ ? I couldn't get it to work so far. My current state of knowledge is that it is not as easy as perl has to iterate back and forth to emulate phrase functionality and that's a whole different syntax (which I don't know either, btw)...
