Dear Wise Ones,
I have a fixed complex regex. And I have hundreds of strings (at any one time) which are growing at the rate of about 50 chars per second. Around a few thousand character size, strings die, but others are reborn. I need to be continuously be checking the strings, all against the same regex, and raise an alarm if the regex succeeds against any string.
The problem is that after adding just one character, I need to start the whole search again. Is there any way to incrementally continue the search from where it last left off? This is a real-time problem, and checking after every 5 characters is not acceptable.

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).
