jesuashok has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi all,

%rules = ( INPUT_FILE_DESCRIPTION => "^Remote.*" );
Above is the standard hash that we are using in our projects. There is a base module written to process this standard hash. Functionality is, If it sees the key INPUT_FILE_DESCRIPTION then base module does process only the files which start with "Remote". Now I want to process all the files which does not start with "Remote".

what is the regular expression I can apply there in INPUT_FILE_DESCRIPTION. Because We do not want to disturb the base module which are being used. At worst case if we have no idea of doing in INPUT_FILE_DESCRIPTION then we have to introduce a new key as FILE_NAME_DOES_NOT_START_WITH and we need to write a code in base module to process this new key as well.

Apologies If I have confused you all more with my problem description.
