I'd change the regex to exclude quotes, rather than match everything: m,"?(/[^"]*)"?,
Test script (including some lines where I tried to break the match):
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
while (my $line = <DATA>) {
chomp $line;
if ($line =~ m,"?(/[^"]*)"?,) {
print "Line matched: $line ($1)\n";
}
else {
print "Line didn't match: $line\n";
}
}
__DATA__
"/moreIters 10"
"/bootMe any text here"
/fewIter
/some stuff here
"/albatross" foo bar baz
monkeys
leprechauns /not monkeys
/gnomes "not leprechauns though"
Output:
Line matched: "/moreIters 10" (/moreIters 10)
Line matched: "/bootMe any text here" (/bootMe any text here)
Line matched: /fewIter (/fewIter)
Line matched: /some stuff here (/some stuff here)
Line matched: "/albatross" foo bar baz (/albatross)
Line didn't match: monkeys
Line matched: leprechauns /not monkeys (/not monkeys)
Line matched: /gnomes "not leprechauns though" (/gnomes )

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).
