Also you can waste one line of code for making first conditional to have the same line-format as others:

if( not 0
   || $args =~ /\-rs(\s+)(\S+)/x
#  || $args =~ /\-? (\s+)(\S+)/x
   || $args =~ /\-p (\s+)(\S+)/x
   || $args =~ /\-P (\s+)(\S+)/x
   ){ ... }

...or equivalently inside regex:

if( $args !~ / (*FAIL)
   | \-rs(\s+)(\S+) 
#  | \-? (\s+)(\S+)
   | \-P (\s+)(\S+)
   | \-p (\s+)(\S+)
   /x ){ ... }

edit: not equivalently, because there are 8 capturing groups instead of 2 :)

Of course regex can be simplyfied as AnomalousMonk have shown here Re: regex return true instead of false.

In reply to Re^5: regex return true instead of false (precedence) by rsFalse
in thread regex return true instead of false by ovedpo15

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
