Actually, I think you've got that slightly wrong. The original code says:

if(!exists $is_acct{$usershare}){

[download]

Which is searching on key - not value.

Tie::Hash::Regex still isn't a solution because I only implemented the FETCH method, not EXISTS. But it wouldn't be too difficult to add that.

    You're right, the code says 
    if(!exists $is_acct{$usershare}){

    [download]
    but the text says:

    "3. Then I am trying to compare all of the values in @dirs against the values in %is_acct for a partial match."

    So I think he wants to match the values in the hash and not the keys.

      You're right. I was originally matching the keys, but because of the marraiges, I have to match the values.
