++blokhead. My hat is off to you.
I'd really like to see two things.
- The same algorithm implemented using normal perl. Iterative, recursive, a mixture of the two. Whatever, so long as it solved the same problem (and arrived at the same answer:).
- A benchmark of a few, well chosen, 'typical cases' using your pure-regex, Abigail's extended regex, and the pure perl solutions.
Throw in a CPAN Perl-over-'generic paths'-C-library, solution and we'd have a very interesting shoot-out:)
Examine what is said, not who speaks.

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.
