probably you just need Corion's solution, but be careful when you mix positive and negative logic. Imagine you have qr{^Remote.*$} and qr{^.*tmp$}
You might want to process all Remote files that don't end in tmp.
Maybe it's better to have a two-pass (or n-pass) filter, with a first pass using
positive logic and a second pass using negative logic, for instance. The point is that you use the same rules in any pass.
So you use positive logic labels, and your filter decides if it wants to grep or 'grep { not ...}'

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).
